CHAPTER 6
As an option select toilet systems feature a deck
fi tting that permits a marina or waste station
to pump out the vessel holding tank. A hose
attachment screws into the deck fi tting and
removes the waste in the vessel toilet holding
tank when a land pump is activated. The pump-
out fi ttings eliminate the need to remove the
holding tank manually from the vessel.
After the pump-out procedure rinse the waste hose briefl y to eliminate
a build-up of debris and odor before closing the pump-out deck fi tting.
Refurbish the holding tank chemical per the manufacturer’s directions
immediately after the pump-out procedure. For extended cruising,
carry extra holding tank chemical and paper recommended by the
manufacturer since household varieties are not usually “friendly” to
the environment.
As part of your pre-cruise inspection monitor the chemical toilet by
reading the monitor indicator level located on the toilet holding tank.
