INTERIOR EQUIPMENT
12.1 Head Compartment
The head compartment is equipped with a por-
table marine toilet and storage. The compart-
ment drains to the bilge through drain ttings in
the oor.
Ventilation is provided by vents in the cabin door.
There is also a 12-volt light that is activated by a
switch on the light xture.
A hatch next to the light provides access to the
back of the upper section of the helm station to
service helm components or install electronics. A
large removable hatch provides access to lower
helm components, steering system and controls.
Another hatch near the head provides access to
the bilge below the helm.
A round access hatch in the forward bulkhead
provides access to the forward shbox drain thru-
hull tting and valve. Special brackets on the
starboard side and forward section of the com-
partment provide storage for the folding forward
boarding ladder and the sun lounge ller cushion.
12.2 Portable Marine Head
The system is made up of two major components,
an upper tank and a lower tank. The upper tank
contains the fresh water supply, a bellows pump,
a seat and the lid. The bottom tank contains
the ush valve, a waste holding tank, a chemical
storage compartment and the drain nozzle. The
components are secured together by a clamping
mechanism when the portable head is ready for
use.
In some areas the law requires that portable
heads be equipped with an optional permanent
deck mounted pump out system to evacuate
the waste with a dockside pump. Boats with a
portable head pump out will be equipped with a
deck tting marked “WASTE” located on the side
of the console. Since this system is required to
be permanent, the bottom waste tank cannot be
removed and the only way to evacuate the system
is by a dockside pump.
