Quicksilver 810 Arvor — System & Component Overview and Operaon
Check the funcon of all bilge pumps at regular intervals.
Clear pump inlet from debris.
The bilge pumping system is not designed for damage
control.
Dockside Pumpout
The dockside pumpout deck plate is located on the deck, at the forward port side of the cockpit, and
is marked with the ISO symbol WASTE. The dockside facility will have the proper connecons / ngs
to pump the holding tank out.
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, both located in the a bilge area. A 650 GPH bilge
pump is located in the keel of the boat while the second pump, a 500 GPH is located in the a bilge.
Both bilge pumps 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 intake and keep it 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.
Avoid inadvertent discharge of the black water system.
Always keep the macerator seacock closed when not in use.
The dockside pumpout deck plate does not have a chain
connecng the cap to the deck plate. Use cauon not to
drop the deck plate cap into the water.
