this manual. Refer to this literature for additional opera-
tion and service information.
Some local regulations require overboard discharge sys-
tems be physically secured in a closed position during
use of the boat in waters designated as ‘no discharge’
areas. Check with local boating regulations. Refer to the
manufacturer’s literature for additional information.
Be sure the batteries in the boat are properly charged.
Operating the pressure pump from a battery with a low
charge will result in pump cycling. This could lead to
prematurepumpfailure.
D. DocksidePump-Out
Waste can be removed from the holding tank by taking
theboattoadocksidewastepumpingstation. Mostmarina
fueling facilities provide such services.
The decomposition of waste produces a color-
less, odorless gas, methane, that is lighter than
air, combustible, and extremely lethal. Always
provide sufficient ventilation when effecting re-
pairs to the waste system and allow no odor
from the waste system to go un-resolved.

tank vent(s). Clean the thru-hull vent fitting(s) of any dirt,
wax, plastic particles, etc. Always replace the caps af-
ter cleaning.
Usually the dockside pump out connection will screw
into the waste deck plate or has a rubber sleeve that
inserts into the plate and must be held in position
during the pump out operation.
