WATER PRESSURE switch to be turned on to
operate the water system. The water pump works
on demand. It will not automatically shut off when
the fresh water tank is empty.
To clean the water tank, refer to

MACERATOR - OPTIONAL
Instructions
Before operating the head for the first time, refer to
the marine toilet owner’s manual in your owner’s
packet.
The handle of the seacock (in the closed position)
may have to be removed, or disabling the system
by other means may be required to avoid a fine.
Manually Operated Head

2. Pump the floor pedal 2-4 times to fill the bowl
with water.
3. To flush, depress the foot pedal and operate
flush handle next to head at the same time.
Operate handle until all waste is removed.
To empty the bowl of excess water, operate flush
button until water level decreases to desired level.
The marine toilet (head) allows you to hold the
waste in a holding tank. The waste can then be
pumped out through a deck plate fitting marked
“WASTE.”
Electrically Operated Head
1. Open the inlet water seacock below the cabin
floor.
2. If overboard discharge is to be used, make sure
the “Y” valve is in the overboard position, and
the macerator seacock is open.
3. To charge the head, depress the foot pedal on
the lower left side of the bowl, and push the
flush button. Release the flush button after the
bowl is moistened, and then pump the floor

The marine toilet (head) allows you to hold the
waste in a holding tank. The waste can then be
pumped out through a deck plate fitting marked
“WASTE.”
The optional macerator system allows the
discharging of waste water directly overboard
through a seacock. The seacock’s valve must be
opened to allow activation of the macerator pump
switch. For additional operating information, refer to
the macerator operator’s manual.
If your Cobalt boat is equipped with an
electronically operated head (marine toilet) and
waste containment system, the head draws
seawater in through the hull to flush waste water
from the marine toilet.
NOTICE:
Overboard discharge of waste
water should only be used in
approved areas. It is your
responsibility to comply with
local regulations regarding the
discharge of waste. You could
be fined if your boat has an
operable overboard discharge
system.
CAUTION
Avoid damage to the waste system. Do
not flush into a full holding tank.
NOTICE:
To empty the bowl of excess
water, operate flush button until
water level decreases to desired
level.
