The procedure for draining and winterizing
the marine sanitation system is as follows:
Drain all water lines into the waste hold-
ing tank. Continue to fl ush fresh water
into the waste holding tank and pump
out into an approved waste facility until
thoroughly clean.
Add non-toxic, freshwater anti-freeze
to the waste holding tank by fl ushing
through the toilet.
Run the macerator pump to allow anti-
freeze to fl ow through the pump and the
input/output lines.
Remove the drain plug from the mac-
erator seacock while the valve is closed
and allow the line to drain. Replace the
drain plug.
Thoroughly clean the toilet and leave the
bowl exposed to prevent mildew.
Remove all seacock and strainer drain
plugs to prevent from freezing. Close all
seacocks.

Battery Storage
The procedure for battery winterization and
storage is as follows:
Turn battery switch to OFF.
Remove engine batteries and generator
battery (if so equipped) from their re-
spective compartments (See Mechani-
cal Layout on Page 155 and 156, which
illustrates the location of the engine and
generator batteries).
Place batteries on a wooden pallet or
bench and store in an area where tem-
peratures remain above freezing.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT store batteries on
a concrete surface, such as a garage fl oor,
as they will tend to discharge.
Keep batteries fully charged during stor-
age. Periodic charging (once a month)
with a battery charger set on a low am-
perage charge is recommended. Check
the battery electrolyte levels regularly.
Add electrolyte, if needed.
