Once you’ve finished using the
head, press the flush button
labeled “Elec Head” on the switch
panel. This will push the contents
of the head into the holding tank.
Note that the toilet contents will
always go into the holding tank
first, no matter if planning on
pumping out or using the
macerator.
To evacuate the holding tank via a
marina pump out, make sure that
the handle for the Y-valve (located in the access hatch to
the right of the toilet) is in the correct position. This will allow the tank contents to be
sucked out of the tank via the waste deck fitting on the deck. The discharge for the deck
fitting will always be the topmost outlet on the Y-valve. The handle is in the correct
position if the arrow for the top outlet IS NOT covered by the wide end of the handle.
This is the position the handle should be kept in at all times to prevent the possibility of
mistakenly discharging waste overboard in waters illegally. (Within 3 miles of shore and
where otherwise designated.) If desired, the handle can be locked in this position by
inserting a padlock through the hole on the handle and through the housing on the Y-
valve.
To evacuate the tank overboard using the macerator, open the valve on the waste
discharge thru hull located next to the head intake valve/thru hull. The Y-valve handle
should then be turned so that the wide portion of the handle covers the silver arrow for
the pump-out outlet (the top outlet.) The visible arrows should now be showing the flow
arrow for the outlet where the flow is NOT going to go. If the flow is
pointing downwards, the waste is being directed through the bottom
of the hull and overboard. If the flow is pointing up, the waste is being
directed upward to the deck and the pump out fitting.
