Interior Equipment

8.1 Companionway Door

Access the cabin and V-birth through a slid-

ing door. A lockable latch secures the door

in the closed position. A vinyl-covered latch

secures the door in the open position. Most

importantly, properly secure the cabin door

in the open or closed position. The door is

made of acrylic plastic. Acrylic plastic

scratches easily and can chip. Please refer

to the Routine Maintenance chapter for

information on the proper care and mainte-

nance of acrylic plastic.

8.2 Head Compartment

The head compartment is equipped with a

sink and a hot and cold faucet that converts

to a shower. An opening port light above the

sink provides daylight and ventilation. There

is also a 12-volt overhead light. An AC G.F.I.

duplex outlet is by the sink.

Marine Head System

The marine toilet is located in the head com-

partment. The flush water is supplied by a

thru-hull fitting located in the machinery

space. Before using, open the inlet valve on

the head and pump to wet the inside of the

bowl. After use, pump to discharge the

waste to the holding tank, then close the

inlet valve and pump the bowl dry. The

waste remains in the holding tank until it is

pumped out by a waste dumping station or

the overboard macerator discharge system.

Holding Tank

The holding tank is located in the machinery

space. Monitor the waste level in the holding

tank and have it pumped out before com-

pletely full. If the holding tank overfills, the

waste overflows out the tank vent and then

overboard.

Emptying the Holding Tank

When the holding tank is full it must either be

pumped out by an approved waste dumping

station through the waste deck fitting or be

pumped overboard with the macerator dis-

charge pump, when legal to do so.

To operate the macerator pump, open the

ball valve at the thru-hull fitting located in the

forward bilge. Then activate the macerator

switch until the tank empties. Release the

switch and close the discharge ball valve

when pumping is complete.

! CAUTION

Never leave the cabin door unlatched.

The cabin door is heavy and slides

easily. If left unlatched, it can slide

unexpectedly as the boat rocks, dam-

aging the door or causing an injury to

a passenger. Always properly latch

the door in the open or closed posi-

tion.

! CAUTION

Only run the macerator discharge

pump can dry for a few seconds.

Allowing the macerator pump to run

after the holding tank is empty can

cause damage to the pump.
