is portion of the system needs to be monitored peri-
odically to prevent the system from being over full which
could cause equipment damage and/or a possible leak
in the vessel.
If the waste system is determined to be full it can be emp-
tied by connecting a marina pump-out hose to the waste
tting located on the deck. e pump out device will
actually remove the waste much like a vacuum cleaner.

tional waters only is to pump the waste overboard using
the waste seacock.
