Operating Information
Dockside Pumpout - This system directs all waste
to the holding tank. To clear the tank, you will need
to use the dockside pumpout services provided at
marinas or other facilities. To empty the tank, a
suction hose is connected to the “WASTE”
pumpout plate and to the dockside pump. The
WASTE pumpout plate is always located at a “high
point” on the boat. For the WASTE pumpout
connection, refer to Section 4, Water/Plumbing.
Macerator Pump
The optional macerator system allows the
discharging of waste water directly overboard
through a seacock. The seacock’s valve must be
opened to allow activation of the macerator pump
switch located in the head area. Refer to Section 4,
Water/Plumbing for component location. For
additional operating information, refer to the
macerator operator’s manual supplied with your
Cobalt boat.
A “Y” valve is installed between the pumpout plate
and the macerator discharge seacock. The
macerator pump is located between the “Y” valve
and the macerator discharge seacock. In this
configuration all waste is flushed from the head to
the holding tank. The “Y” valve permits you to use
the dockside pumpout feature, or to use the
macerator to pump the waste from the holding tank
overboard.
To pump out the holding tank using the macerator
pump:
1. Open the discharge seacock.
2. Move the “Y” valve lever to the down or
overboard position.
3. Activate the macerator pump by turning its
switch on.
4. Close the macerator discharge seacock and
turn macerator pump off after the pumpout is
complete.
If your boat is equipped with a tank level monitor,
the tank level monitor will illuminate the indicator
lights to monitor the tank level.
COCKPIT HEATER -
OPTIONAL
The optional cockpit heater is activated by a
two-way switch. Temperature can be controlled by
adjusting the louvered vents. The cockpit heater will
only be effective (warm enough) when the engine is
running at normal operating temperature.
Wet Locker Draining
A seacock located in the wet locker drains water
away from the boat which can accumulate in the
wet locker.
Turn the valve lever located in the engine
compartment, under the wet locker, to drain.
CAUTION
Avoid damaging the macerator unit. Do
not run the macerator dry. Running it
when there is no waste will shorten the
life of the system.
