Section 8 Interior Equipment
OS 315
The vacuum generator is mounted on the
holding tank and contains stored vacuum.
System vacuum is monitored by a vacuum
switch, which is located on the vacuum gen-
erator tank. When the switch senses a drop
in vacuum in the system, it automatically sig-
nals the pump to energize and bring the vac-
uum back to operating level. This process is
normally completed in less than two min-
utes.
It is normal for the stored vacuum to leak
down slightly between flushes, causing the
vacuum pump to run for a short period. The
pump should not run more than once every
three hours after the last flush for recharging
the system. A holding tank fluid level monitor
and macerator pump-out switch are located
in a panel near the toilet. Refer to the head
manufacturer owner’s manual for more infor-
mation on the operation of the marine head
system.
Holding Tank
Monitor tank level and have it pumped out
before it is completely full. If the tank is
allowed to overfill, the waste will overflow out
the tank vent and overboard.
Emptying The Holding Tank
When the tank is full, pump it out by an
approved waste dumping station through the
waste deck fitting or use the macerator dis-
charge pump, when it is legal to do so.
To operate the macerator pump, open the
ball valve at the thru-hull fitting located in the
forward bilge area, activate macerator
switch until tank is empty. Release the
switch and close the discharge ball valve
when pumping is complete.
Maintenance
Clean and inspect the head for leaks regu-
larly. Periodically add chemical to the head
to help control odor and to chemically break
down the waste. Refer to the head owner’s
manual for additional operating and mainte-
nance information.
8.4 Galley
The galley is equipped with storage and a
fresh water sink with a hot and cold faucet.
When the water pressure switch in the 12-
volt panel is on, the water system will oper-
ate much like a home water system. Refer to
Plumbing Systems for more information on
operating the system.
Use port window and overhead opening
hatch for daylight and fresh air. For addi-
tional night lighting, use the two 12-volt lights
on either end of the galley.
To operate galley drawers, push button to
extend the knob and pull open. Push button
in to lock. Lock drawers before getting
underway.
The counters may be made of Corian® and
should be cared for much as you would your
Corian® counters in your home. Refer to
Corian® Surfaces in Routine Maintenance.
Stove
The galley is equipped with a single burner,
electric stove, recessed into the counter top.
The stove cover slides underneath the cabi-
net for storage. To use the stove, turn the
stove breaker in the AC breaker panel on
and remove stove cover. Refer to the stove
owner’s manual for additional operating and
! NOTICE
DO NOT operate the macerator dry,
damage to the pump can occur.
In some waters it is illegal to dis-
charge waste overboard. Remove the
seacock handle, or use another
method to prevent accidental dis-
charge.
! NOTICE
The head and macerator systems
must be winterized before winter lay-
up, refer to Winterizing.
