To operate the overboard discharge system:
1.
The discharge valve is located in the engine

open, turn the valve so that the handle is parallel
to the flow of the valve. The waste deck plate
cover must be tightened securely for the over-
board discharge system to operate.

Turn ON the overboard discharge switch which is
located in the head on the switch panel. Allow the
discharge pump to run until the storage tank is
empty. The sound of the pump’s motor load and

models. The head toilet operations are the same as
the systems described earlier. The head operates the
same as the porcelain head system described earlier
but an additional line with a “wye” has been installed
for overboard discharge. The waste will be pumped
into the holding tank from the head. The macerator
pump is installed after the “wye”. Refer to Figure J10.
NOTICE
Discharging waste overboard is illegal in most
US waters today. Discharge is limited to
certain coastal waters, a designated distance
offshore. Check with your local boating
regulations before proceeding with any
discharge activities.
Some local regulations require overboard
discharge systems 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.
D. Dockside Waste Pump Out
On most Vista models waste pump out capability is
®
available. Waste can be removed from the holding
tank by taking the boat to a dockside waste pumping
station. Most marina fueling facilities provide such
services.
