Holding Tank and Macerator Discharge Pump

The holding tank is located in the bilge. When the 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

optional macerator discharge pump, when legal to do so. When the macerator discharge pump

option is installed, the Y-valve is used to select the waste deck fitting or the overboard macerator

discharge pump.

To operate the macerator discharge pump, move the Y-valve handle

to the macerator pump-out position, open the ball valve at the

overboard discharge thru hull fitting. Then activate the macerator

switch, located in the in the storage compartment below the center

console, until the tank is emptied. Turn the switch to “OFF” and close

the discharge ball valve when pumping is complete.

Note: The macerator discharge pump can only be run dry for a couple of seconds. Allowing

the macerator pump to run after the holding tank is empty will cause damage to the

pump.

Maintenance

The head should be cleaned and inspected for leaks regularly.

The holding tank should be pumped out and flushed as needed. Periodically add chemical to the

head to help control odor and to chemically break down the waste. See the manufacturer owner’s

manuals for additional operating and maintenance information.

THE HEAD AND MACERATOR DISCHARGE SYSTEM MUST BE PROPERLY WINTERIZED

BEFORE WINTER LAY-UP. SEE SECTION ON WINTERIZING.

12.2 Ice Box

A top loading ice box is installed as standard equipment. The ice box drains into the cabin drains

system and is loaded through a hatch in the galley counter top.
