C. Dockside Waste Pump Out
4. Remove the pump out connection from the deck
plate. Add at least 5 gallons of clean water to the
holding tank on most models through the waste
deck fitting using a dockside water hose.
On most V Series 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.
5. Repeat steps 2 & 3 above to pump out the water
used in step 4 to flush the holding tank.
The waste holding tank should be emptied when
the waste level indicator reads full. The waste level
indicator is located on the 12VDC cabin panel.
See Figure J16. DO NOT ALLOW THE WASTE
TANK TO BECOME OVERFILLED.
6. Add waste holding tank treatment chemical to the
head bowl. It is available from the dockside
pumping station or can be obtained from your
dealer. Flush at least twice.
To pump out the holding tank:
Be careful when handling and storing
treatment chemicals. Not only are they toxic,
but they will also stain and damage
surrounding surface.
1.
Be sure the head has some water in the bowl.
2.
Connect the dockside pump out connection to the
WASTE plate located on the deck. See Figure
J17.
J - 8 SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
Bow
Information supplied with water and waste system
components by the equipment manufacturers is
included with this manual. Refer to this literature for
additional operation and service 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 premature pump failure.
WASTE Plate
Figure J17: Waste Pumpout Fitting Location
The decomposition of waste produces a
colorless, odorless gas, methane, that is lighter
than air, combustible, and extremely lethal.
Always provide sufficient ventilation when
effecting repairs to the waste system and allow
no odor from the waste system to go
unresolved.
NOTICE
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. If the hose is not air tight or connect-
ed properly, waste could spurt out or leak
around the deck fitting and into the boat.
A. Clean Vents and Screens
Periodically, inspect the water tank vents and thru-hull
vent fittings for any dirt, wax, etc. Carefully remove
any obstruction with a pipe cleaner or similar device.
Be sure not to puncture the screen. The stainless
steel vent cap is not removable.
3.
Have the pumping station operator activate the
pumping equipment. The waste will be drawn from
the holding tank and into the pumping station’s
disposal tank.
