Chapter 8:

INTERIOR EQUIPMENT

8.1 Head Compartment

The head compartment is in the center console. It is accessed through a door on the starboard side of the

console. The optional AC breaker panel, the optional CD player and the electronics access panel are on the

rear of the compartment. There are two bilge access doors in the compartment. The battery charger and other

rigging can be accessed through the hatch in the aft wall. The areas accessed through these doors are part of

the bilge and are not intended for storage.

MARINE HEAD SYSTEM

This system is provided as standard equipment. The flush water is supplied by a thru-hull fitting, located

through an access door next to the sink, and a raw water line. Before using, open the inlet valve on the head

and pump to wet the inside of the bowl. After use, close the valve and pump to discharge the waste to the

holding tank. An electric china head is optional. The electric head is flushed by using the switch mounted

next to the head.

Waste is pumped into the holding tank where it remains until it is pumped out by a waste dumping station or

the overboard macerator discharge system.

HOLDING TANK AND MACERATOR DISCHARGE PUMP

The holding tank is under the deck forward of the console. To access, open the bow floor storage door. When

the tank is full it must either be pumped out by an approved waste dumping station through the waste deck

fitting or be pumped overboard with the macerator discharge pump, when legal to do so.

To operate the macerator discharge pump, open the discharge ball valve which is accessed through the hatch

above the step. Then activate the macerator switch, located on the switch panel in the head, until the tank is

emptied, and release the switch.

THE MACERATOR DISCHARGE PUMP CAN ONLY BE RUN DRY FOR A FEW SECONDS. AL-

LOWING 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 OVERBOARD

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 manuals for additional

operating and maintenance information.
