NOTICE
THE MACERATOR DISCHARGE PUMP CAN ONLY BE RUN DRY FOR A FEW SECONDS.
ALLOWING THE MACERATOR PUMP TO RUN AFTER THE HOLDING TANK IS EMPTY
MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE PUMP.
IN SOME WATERS YOU CAN BE FINED FOR HAVING AN OPERABLE DIRECT OVER-
BOARD DISCHARGE OF WASTE. TO AVOID A FINE, REMOVING THE SEACOCK
HANDLE, IN THE CLOSED POSITION, OR OTHER MEANS MUST BE USED.
MAINTENANCE
The head should be cleaned and inspected for leaks regularly. Periodically add chemical to the head to help
control odor and to chemically break down the waste. See the manufacturer owner’s manual for additional
operating and maintenance information.
THE HEAD AND MACERATOR DISCHARGE SYSTEMS MUST BE PROPERLY WINTERIZED
BEFORE WINTER LAY-UP. SEE THE SECTION ON WINTERIZING.
8.3 Galley
The galley is equipped with storage and a fresh water sink with a hot and cold faucet. When activated by the
water pressure switch in the helm panel, the water system will operate much like the water system in a home.
An automatic pressure sensor keeps the system pressurized. See the Plumbing Systems chapter for more
information on operating the fresh water system.
The counters may be made of Corian® and should be cared for much as you would your Corian® counters
in your home. Please read the Corian® Surfaces section of the Routine Maintenance Chapter.
Daylight and fresh air are provided to this area by an opening port window and by an overhead opening hatch.
Additional lighting is provided by two 12-volt lights on either end of the galley.
STOVE
The galley is equipped with a single burner electric stove recessed into the counter top. To activate the stove,
make sure the stove breaker in the AC breaker panel is on and slide back the stove cover. Then turn the control
knob on the stove clockwise to turn the burner on. A manual for the stove is included with your boat. It is
extremely important that you read the manual and become familiar with the proper care and operation of the
stove before attempting to use it.
After cooking, be sure the element is turned off. Always be sure the burner is off and allowed to cool before
placing the cover back on the stove.
REFRIGERATOR (DC)
A DC refrigerator is supplied as standard equipment and is mounted in the galley.
Care should be exercised while operating the refrigerator on 12-volt power without the engines running. It
draws a substantial amount of current and can severely drain a battery through extended use. The refrigerator
