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 is located

in a panel near the sink. Please refer to the toilet manufacturer

owner’s manual for more information on the operation of the

marine head system.

Holding Tank and Macerator Discharge Pump

The holding tank and vacuum generator is located in the for

ward bilge below the cabin ﬂoor. The overboard macerator

discharge pump is located near the holding tank.

When the tank is full, the tank monitor will show full and the

vacuum pump will not run. The tank 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 ball valve

at the overboard discharge thru-hull ﬁtting in the forward bilge.

Then activate the momentary macerator switch located in the

holding tank monitor panel in the head compartment, until the

tank is emptied. Release the switch and close the discharge

ball valve when pumping is complete.

Note: The macerator discharge pump can only be run dry

for a couple of seconds. Allowing the macerator

pump to run after the holding tank is empty will

cause damage to the pump.

IN MANY AREAS IT IS ILLEGAL TO FLUSH HEAD

WASTE DIRECTLY OVERBOARD. VIOLATION OF

THESE POLLUTION LAWS CAN RESULT IN FINES

OR IMPRISONMENT. ALWAYS KNOW THE LAW FOR

THE AREAS IN WHICH YOU BOAT. NEVER DUMP

HEAD OR HOLDING TANK WASTE OVERBOARD

ILLEGALLY.

Maintenance

The head should be cleaned and inspected for leaks regu-

larly.

The holding tank should be pumped out and ﬂushed as needed.

Periodically add chemical to the head to help control odor

and to chemically break down the waste. The vent hose is

equipped with a charcoal ﬁlter to reduce odors. During normal

operation, the ﬁlter should be changed annually. If the holding

tank is allowed to become overﬁlled, waste will get into the

charcoal ﬁlter and plug it. If this happens, the ﬁlter will have

to be replaced before the head system can be reactivated. See

the manufacturer owner’s manual for additional operating and

maintenance information.

10.2 Galley

Cabinet Door and Drawer Latches

Most cabinet doors and drawers in the cabin are secured in the

closed position with special latches that are ﬂush to door or

drawer when latched. To open, press and release the knob. The

knob will pop out one inch, releasing the locking mechanism

and providing a means to pull the door or drawer open. To

close, make sure the door is completely closed and push the

knob in. The knob will stay in and the locking mechanism

will be activated.

Light Switches and Salon Air Conditioner Control Panel

The switches for the 12-volt lights in the galley and stateroom

companionway are located above the microwave oven on the

bulkhead in the galley. Refer to the air conditioner section

of this chapter for more information on the salon air condi

tioner.

Galley and Sink

The galley is equipped with storage and a fresh water sink with

hot and cold faucets. A reverse osmosis ﬁltering system located

in the forward bilge provides drinking water to a separate faucet

on the sink and to the ice maker in the salon.
