Maintenance
Maintenance of the waste system will require you to check the ngs and hoses to make sure that
there are no leaks. If the system does require maintenance, or if you have any quesons about the
servicing of your black water system (i.e. cleaning materials, safe deodorants to use for the
system) ,contact your local dealer. Quicksilver® recommends that you pump out the system before
long periods of non-use. If you are storing the boat during the winter, we recommend you winterize
the system.
To Winterize the Waste System:
1. Empty the holding tank either via the macerator in an approved locaon or the dockside
pumpout.
2. Pump water through the system (via the toilet) to remove any residue waste.
3. Empty the holding tank again, removing all liquids.
4. Pour an environmentally safe anfreeze (Propylene Glycol based) in the toilet and pump
throughout the system.
Refer to the toilet manufacturer’s requirements for addional winterizaon procedures.
4. Bilge Pumps
Your vessel is equipped with two bilge pumps, with one located in the a secon of the boat, and the
second one located in the forward part of the boat. Access to the a bilge pump is via the motorwell
access plate, while access to the forward bilge pump is through a hatch located in the interior salon
liner. Both bilge pumps are rated for 500 GPH, and are acvated automacally by a built in mercury
free oat switch when the water in the bilge reaches a predetermined level. You can also manually
operate the bilge pump at the console by pressing the bilge pump switch.
Inspect the bilge pump intakes and keep them free of dirt or material which may impede the ow of
water through the pump. To clean the pump strainer, depress the lock tabs on both sides of the pump
and li the pump motor.
If water does not come out of the discharge hose:
1. Remove the motor module to see if the impeller rotates with the power on.
2. Remove any debris that may have accumulated in the nozzle secon or strainer base.
3. Check hose and connecon on hull side for debris and proper connecons.
