INTERIOR EQUIPMENT
10.1 Head Compartment & Marine
Toilet
The head compartment is equipped with a sink with a hot
and cold faucet. There is a shower with a removable shower
head. The shower head is equipped with a valve that allows
the shower water to be turned on and off without affecting the
temperature to conserve water while showering. Make sure
the shower sump breaker on the DC panel is on before using
the shower.
There is storage behind the doors under the sink. Ventilation
is provided by an air conditioning duct and an exhaust fan.
There is also a 12-volt overhead light and 120-volt G.F.I.
duplex outlet.
Marine Head System
Your boat is equipped with a VacuFlush marine head system as
standard equipment. VacuFlush systems use a small amount of
water (one pint to one quart) and vacuum which is generated
by a 12-volt vacuum pump to flush. The toilet is connected to
the pressurized fresh water system. Using fresh water results
in less odor in the head compartment.
To use the toilet, make sure the Head breaker on the cabin
DC breaker panel is on. Then add water to wet the bowl
by depressing the foot activated flush lever slightly until the
desired water level is reached. Flush the toilet by activating
the flush lever all the way for approximately three seconds or
until contents clear the bowl. A sharp popping noise is normal
when the vacuum seal is broken and flushing action begins.
It is also normal for a small amount of water to remain in the
bowl after flushing.
The waste is transferred into the holding tank where it remains
until it is pumped out by a waste dumping station or the over
-
board macerator discharge system. The waste moves through
a one-inch opening in the toilet base. Incoming air fragments
the waste as it passes through the base opening. This process
eliminates the need for macerators or mechanical motors in
the toilet base.
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 generator tank.
When the switch senses a drop in vacuum in the system, it au
-
tomatically signals the pump to energize and bring the vacuum
back to operating level. This process is normally completed
in less than two minutes.
