OVERBOARD DISCHARGE PUMP
If your boat is equipped with an overboard discharge
pump pay close attention to what materials are flushed
through the waste system as it could become clogged.
Do not pump garbage, rags, or sanitary napkins through
the overboard discharge pump (macerator). Flush the
waste tank and pump with fresh water with each pump
out. Do not run the pump dry or for extended periods of
time since the impeller can be damaged. Pump the waste
system out at decommissioning time and rinse fresh water
through the entire system.
FRESH WATER TANK
The fresh water tank is located in the sump area. Be sure
to clean and rinse the tank periodically with a bleach and
water solution. See the chapter on systems for more
information. Winterize the water tank and fresh water
system in colder climates as necessary.
