subject of this section for details on the servicing or main-
tenance of the shower sump. Fig. 10.3 shows you the
shower sump.

Later in this section, we will discuss in greater detail,
the process in performing routine maintenance on your
shower sump.
10.3 Other Waste Related Equipment
10.3.1 Engine Exhaust
The subject here will be discussed in the Engine &
Transmission Section. The motivation for placing this
subject in the Sanitation System Section is due to the
fact that exhaust is discharged from your boat. We will
have an entire subject concerning engine exhaust in the
Engines and Transmissions Section. Here we will simply
mention that the exhaust is a gas, Carbon Monoxide (see
Boating Safety Section) and is very dangerous. Be sure
to follow all guidelines concerning Carbon Monoxide.
10.3.2 Holding Tank
The holding tank on your boat is installed to hold black
water waste until you can safely dispose or pump it
overboard. Refer to the Arrangement Illustrations in the
Boating Safety section or at the end of this section for
location information about the holding tank. Refer to the
Operations and Maintenance subject of this section to
learn how to perform maintenance on your holding tank,
or to learn how to pump it out.
Remember: You must make sure it is legal to empty your hold-
ing tank in the waters you occupy. Some areas have restric-
tions on pumping out black water waste!
10.4 Head System
All vessels with fixed toilets that are operated on the
waterways of the United States and some foreign coun-
Hunter e33 • Waste and Sanitation Systems
tries are required to be equipped with an operable Marine
Sanitation Device (MSD). The Marine Sanitation System
aboard your boat is a waste tank system defined by the
United States Coast Guard as a Type III System. Type
III systems permit operation of the toilet without direct
discharge of untreated waste after every flush. Type III
systems can be discharged at a Marina, Dockside Pump-
out stations or, if in coastal waters, at least three miles
offshore.
Macerator Pump
Note: Overboard discharge capabilities must remain inoperative
while within the 3 mile limit. Overboard discharge valve must
remain closed. Refer to the Mechanical Arrangement illustra-
tion in the Boating Safety Section or the Sanitation Arrangement
illustration at the end of this section.
10.4.1 Electric Head System
These heads are designed to use fresh water. The 12
volt electric marine toilet comes with a compact white
vitreous china bowl and is equipped with a dual func-
tion pump which eliminates eliminates the need for hand
pumps and dry bowl valves. With the push of a single
switch, the self-priming flush pump rinses the bowl.
The toilet is controlled by a switch at the MDP. Refer to
the electrical sections of this manual for more information
about MDP. Refer to the location illustrations in this sec-
tion or the Boating Safety section for location information
of your sanitation system.
CAUT ION
!
Do not use chlorine-based or caustic cleaning
agents, or chemicals such as a drain opening prod-
uct in your head systems. Use of these products
may cause serious damage to the system's seals
10.5 Operations and Maintenance
This section details the system's operation and mainte-
nance on the components or systems if applicable.
10.5.1 Bilge Pumps
As we previously discussed in this section and in the
DC Electric Systems Section, your boat has a total of
two bilge pumps. The Emergency, or High Water Pump
(optional), and the standard bilge pump. We detailed the
operations of these pumps in the DC Electric Section
(Section 7).
