Discharging waste overboard is illegal in most US
waters today. Discharge is limited to certain
coastal waters, a desig nated distance offshore.

proceed ing with any discharge activities.

literature for additional information.
F. Dockside Waste Pump Out
On the V Series models waste pump out capability is
available. Waste can be removed from the holding
tank by taking the boat to a dockside waste pumping
station. Most marina fueling facilities provide such
services.
The waste holding tank should be emptied when the
waste level indicator reads full. The waste level
indicator (if installed) is located on the 12VDC cabin
panel or in the head depending on the model. See
Figure J22. DO NOT ALLOW THE WASTE TANK TO
BECOME OVERFILLED.
To pump out the holding tank:
1. Be sure the head has some water in the bowl.
2. Connect the dockside pump out connection to the
WASTE plate located on the deck. See Figure
J23.
