NOTICE
The discharge pump must be used to
discharge waste overboard. However, DO
NOT use the discharge pump to dis charge
waste at a pumping station.
To operate the overboard discharge system:
1. The seacock (discharge valve) is located in the
engine compartment labeled HEAD DISCHARGE.
To open, turn the valve so that the handle is
parallel to the flow of the valve. Note: The sea-
cock may be fitted with a device called an "Inter-
lock Switch" which prevents the overboard dis-
charge switch from activating the discharge pump
should the seacock be in the CLOSED position.
See Figure J15. Should the pump not activate
please check to see that the seacock is in the
OPEN position. Additionally, the waste deck plate
cover must be tightened securely for the over-
board discharge system to operate properly.

3. Turn the overboard discharge switch OFF.
4. Turn the head discharge valve handle to the
closed position, and secure it. This thru-hull valve
(seacock) must be closed to prevent water from
being forced back into the system.

US waters today. Discharge is limited to
certain coastal waters, a desig nated distance
offshore. Check with your local boating
regulations before proceed ing with any
discharge activities.
Some local regulations require overboard
dis charge systems be physically secured in a
closed position during use of the boat in waters
designat ed as "no discharge" ar eas. Check
with local boating regulations. Refer to the
manufacturer's literature for additional
