OS 285

The macerator discharge pump can only be run dry for a few seconds. Allowing the macerator pump to run

after the fishbox is empty may cause damage to the pump.

The fishbox is equipped with a Banjo

fitting to allow the drain hose to be disconnected from the fishbox

drain. Lift the fishbox up and slide it to the port side of the opening to gain access to the Banjo

fitting. Pull

both levers of the Banjo

fitting upwards to disconnect the hose. The fishbox can now be removed. To

reinstall, push the hose fitting onto the drain adapter and pull both levers down.

The cooler located under the port aft facing seat is drained by gravity to overboard thru-hulls located in the

hull sides just above the waterline.

WATER SYSTEM DRAINS

The galley sink, exterior sink and livewell, provided with fresh or raw water, drain by gravity to overboard

thru-hulls located in the hull sides just above the waterline. The overflows in the livewell drain into the

overboard drains.

SHOWER AND HEAD SINK DRAINS

The shower and head sink drain to a sump pump system located in the bilge and accessed through a hatch below

the aft berth.

After showering, let the cold water flow for a period of time to flush the drainage system of soap residue. The

sump has a removable cover to allow the system to be inspected and serviced. It is essential that the sump system

by inspected periodically and any accumulated debris removed.

ROPE LOCKER DRAINS

The rope locker drains overboard through a special drain fitting located in the hull side at the bottom of the

rope locker. It is important to inspect the drain frequently to remove any accumulated debris.
