CRUISER/SUPERSPORT
Macerator Control—Controls operation of the
macerator waste system. Your Formula boat may
be equipped with a macerator system that allows
the discharging of waste water directly overboard
through a seacock. The macerator control is
located in the head compartment (Figure 4-37).
The seacock’s valve must be opened to allow
activation of the macerator pump switch. The
Head Treatment breaker located in the 12V
section of the AC/DC panel must be “ON” to
activate the macerator. For additional operating
information, refer to the macerator operator’s
manual.
Overboard discharge of waste water
should only be used in approved areas. It
is your responsibility to comply with local
regulations regarding the discharge of
waste. You could be fined if your boat has
an operable overboard discharge system.
Removing the handle of the seacock while
in a closed position, or disabling the
system by other means may be required to
avoid a fine.

BATTERY ON/OFF
SWITCHES
Your Formula boat is equipped with a minimum of
two battery ON/OFF switches, one for each
engine. In addition, a BATTERY PARALLEL switch
is provided to allow the user to parallel the
batteries (or banks of batteries) in an emergency
situation. In general, the port engine START
battery(s) doubles as the auxiliary (12 volt
accessories) power source. For location of the
battery ON/OFF switches, refer to Specifications,
in Section 3.
The bilge pump(s), stereo memory, anti-
electrolysis system (if equipped) and CO detector
are wired direct to the battery through their circuit
breakers and will remain energized even if battery
switches are turned OFF. All other items will be
disabled.
