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