Dockside Discharge – When at a marina that offers dockside discharge, the marina will provide the
facilities needed to perform this operation. You will not need to use the Tank Watch system. The
stainless steel fitting labeled “Waste” is located amidships on the port gunwale. Twist the cap to open the
fitting and insert the hose provided by the marina into the dockside discharge waste outlet to connect to
your marina’s dockside service facilities. Follow the instructions provided by the marina to operate their
equipment.
Warning: Waste in the holding tank can form methane, an explosive gas. Use suitable
precautions when any maintenance is done to the sanitary system.
Head Macerator Pump
The head macerator pump is located in the cabin behind the port wall in the mid berth. To operate the
macerator pump, locate the DC main, fresh water and the head switches on the AC/DC panel inside the
cabin. Turn all 3 switches to the on position and go into the head area. Press the pedal on the side of
the electric head to fill the toilet bowl and empty the contents. This flushes the contents of the head into
the holding tank. When the system is not in use, turn all 3 switches to the off position at the AC/DC
panel.
Note: There must be fresh water in the fresh water holding tank in order for the Head
macerator pump to operate and properly flush the system. Operating the pump with an
empty tank could cause serious damage to the pump.
Sea Water System
Baitwell Pump
The baitwell switch at the helm controls the baitwell pump (800 gph), which is mounted on a seacock
under the starboard access panel on the berth in the mid-cabin. Raw water for the baitwell tub comes
through the seacock, to the baitwell pump and then to the baitwell tub.
Before turning the pump on from the helm, check to be sure that the seacock is open. The seacock is
wide open when the yellow seacock lever is vertical to the bottom of the hull. When the yellow seacock
lever is horizontal to the bottom of the hull, the seacock is closed. The seacock should remain closed
when the baitwell pump is not in use.
Baitwell pump, shown with seacock closed, is
located below the mid-berth. Please note that the
baitwell pump is mounted on its side. The
seacock lever must be horizontal to the bottom of
the hull to be in the closed position.
The hose on the lower port feeds raw water to the
washdown pump.
To operate the baitwell pump, locate the baitwell switch on the console and press the switch to the
forward position to turn on the pump. When the baitwell pump is operating, go to the baitwell tub, open
the baitwell lid and visually check to see if water is pumping into the tub through the aerator fitting. This
will ensure that the baitwell pump is working properly. The hose that goes from the baitwell pump to the
baitwell tub is routed behind the starboard aft wall of the mid berth.
To turn the baitwell pump off, press the baitwell switch to the aft position. You should always turn the
baitwell switch off at the helm if the pump is not going to be used soon.
