Steps to Pumping out the Holding Tank:
1)
Locate “Waste” deck plate and plan your docking approach to the pump-out station.
2)
Tie Bow/Stern and spring lines to assure your boat is stable before beginning to pump out tank.
3)
Locate deck key and open fitting making sure not to drop overboard!
4)
Run pump hose into water, open red valve and prime with seawater by pushing the green button to
turn on. Close valve. Turn off (red button)
5)
Secure pump-out hose nozzle into deck fitting holding downward during the entire pump-out process
to assure there are no air leaks for fluid to escape.
6)
When secure, turn on pump. Continue pumping until clear bubbles appear in site glass. Turn off.
7)
Close valve and gently remove fitting from deck plate. Flush nozzle/hose with salt water before
wrapping up hose.
8)
During our summer months it is best to fill the holding tank with fresh water and repeat flush to keep
tank from getting smelly! Also, the tank gauge will not read ”empty” until you flush tank at least
once.
9)
Replace deck cap. Hose off deck. Wash hands or wear gloves while operating.
