SYSTEM OPERATION AND EQUIPMENT

Macerator Discharge Pump
—The optional
macerator system allows the discharging of waste
water directly overboard through a thru-hull
located in the engine bilge. The macerator
system is active when the 12VDC system is
energized and the WASTE TREATMENT breaker
is turned ON. The macerator seacock must be
open and the Y-valve flow directed towards the
macerator in order to discharge waste. Activate
the macerator by pressing and holding the
macerator switch located in the head compartment
until the tank has reached the empty level. The
macerator switch operates independently of the
seacock or Y-valve’s position.
Overboard discharge of waste water is
prohibited in many 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.
Removing the handle of the seacock while
in closed position, or disabling the system
by other means may be required to avoid a
fine.
RAW WATER SYSTEM
Your Formula boat may have as many as two
accessory components (generator and air
conditioning) - in addition to the engines - with
complete raw water systems.
Each raw water system will have its own thru-hull
water intake, seacock and strainer. The seacock is
very important. It protects the boat from sinking if
a hose or fitting should fail. It is important to close
any seacock not in use.
Waste water from the generator is routed with the
generator’s exhaust system. Waste water from the
air conditioning unit is directed overboard through
a drain port in the hull.
Your engines have their own raw water system for
cooling. Refer to the propulsion unit operator’s
manual for engine cooling information.
AUTOMATIC FIRE
EXTINGUISHER SYSTEM
A fixed automatic fire extinguisher that uses FE-
241 (FM-200 for European requirements) as an
extinguishing agent is mounted on the engine
compartment forward bulkhead. The extinguisher
is activated when the heat sensitive head reaches
a predetermined temperature. The extinguisher
discharges and saturates the engine compartment,
smothering the fire.
When the fire extinguisher discharge
occurs, turn OFF all engines, bilge blowers
and electrical system components. Refrain
from opening the engine compartment
hatch, as the introduction of oxygen could
accelerate any fire present there.
Allow the extinguishant to soak for 15 minutes
after it discharges. With a portable fire
extinguisher in your hand, cautiously inspect for
damage. Avoid breathing fire vapors or fumes.
Refer to
Automatic Fire Extinguisher Indicator
,
in
Section 4
, for information on the automatic fire
extinguisher monitoring indicator.
