The vent filter is designed to control odors
associated with the head system operations. The
vent filter is located in the bilge outboard of the water
heater. The filter must be changed at the
beginning of each boating season to be
effective. The vent filter is installed in-line on the
holding tank ventilation hose (See figure 7.11.1).
NOTE: Do not overfill the holding tank as this will
flood the vent filter and render it useless. Filter
replacement will then be required. See Parts Manual
for correct replacement filter.

The optional macerator gives the boat operator the
means of discharging the holding tank contents
directly overboard through a seacock in the bottom
of the hull. This is available in conjunction with the
dockside pump out.
Since direct overboard discharge is prohibited in
many areas, the macerator seacock is normally
closed. The macerator seacock is equipped with
a system interlock switch which prevents the
operation of the macerator when the macerator
seacock is closed. The light on the DISCHARGE
PUMP switch on the DC Distribution Panel will be
lighted when the macerator is operational. If the
light is not lighted, it is visual confirmation the
macerator seacock is closed and that the
macerator cannot be operated. Check that the
macerator seacock handle is in the open position
and the light on the switch is lighted before operating
the macerator.
This boat may be equipped with an optional
overboard discharge valve.
Discharging of sewage directly overboard is for use
where approved only.
