Waste and Sanitation Systems
10.5.2 Maintenance
No maintenance is required on your macerator pump.
Helpful Hint: Should the macerator pump become clogged, you
can manually rotate the internal grinder wheels by removing
the small plastic cap on the back of the macerator pump. This
encloses the screw which is attached to the grinding wheels and
by inserting a flat screwdriver, you can rotate the wheels and
possibly remove any debris clogging the pump.
PUMP OUT STATION
10.5.3 Shower Sump
The shower sump is controlled by a rocker switch on the
vanity face.
10.5.3.1 Maintenance
Clean strainer at pump. While no maintenance is required
on the pump itself, you do need to ensure that the holding
tank is clean and free of debris for the operation to
be functional.
10.5.4 Holding Tank
The holding tank must be cleaned or pumped out when it
becomes nearly full. There are two methods for removing
waste from the holding tank, either by pumping overboard
in coastal waters, or by dockside pump-out at a waste
facility.
10.5.4.1 Overboard Pump-out Operation
See the macerator operation guide, Section 10.5.5.2, for
instructions on how to pump out the holding tank.
10.5.4.3 Maintenance
Maintenance on the holding tanks is best described as
ensuring no methane gas is leaked and to keep odors
down to a minimum. Any deodorizer may be used as
long as it contains no alcohols or strong chemicals. Steer
clear of drain opening type chemicals or strong bleaching
type agents.
10.6 Toilets
10.6.1 Toilet Operation
Ensure that the fresh water system is operational.
Instructions for operating the electric head are mounted
at the toilet. Follow these carefully.
10.5.6.2 Toilet Maintenance
Clean with mild cleaners and consult your owner’s packet
for further instructions.
Important: U.S. Coast Guard regulations require that boats
have a sanitation system on board to control pollution. Waste
is to be stored in a holding tank or other device so it can be
properly disposed of at a shore facility. Discharging this waste
overboard in U.S. lakes, rivers, bays, and sounds and within 3
miles of shore in international waters is prohibited. Check with
the Coast Guard regarding regulations in your area.
10.5.4.2 Dockside Waste Removal
To remove waste from the holding tank at a dockside
waste facility, insert the hose from the pump-out facility
into the waste access on the coaming (Fig. 10.7) of your
boat and follow instructions at the facility. Instructions
from one facility to another may vary.
