Trim - To ensure the trim gauges/indicators are working properly, start by making sure the engine is trimmed all
the way down. Locate the trim gauge on the instrument panel and check to see if the level on the trim gauge is in
the full down position. As you trim the engine up, watch the trim gauge and ensure that it coincides with the
actual trim of the engine. When you are finished trimming the engine all the way up, the level on the trim gauge
should read in the full up position.
Volts - To system check the volt gauge, turn the ignition key on and turn on the engine. With the engine running,
check the reading on the volt gauge. It should be reading between 12 and 14.5 volts. This reading ensures that
the charging system and the volt gauge are working properly.
Fuel - The fuel gauge reads the amount of fuel remaining in the tank. To check the fuel gauge, place a known
amount of fuel into the fuel fill and fill the tank. Turn the ignition key on and the fuel gauge should read the
approximate amount of fuel in the tank.
For example: If the fuel tank holds 200 gallons of fuel and you pumped 50 gallons of fuel into the
tank, the fuel gauge should read approximately ¼ of a tank. This ensures that the fuel gauge and
the fuel sender are working properly.
If the fuel gauge is not reading correctly, we recommend that you have the fuel sender checked by a qualified
service professional before considering changing out the gauge. For more information, please refer to the
Fuel/Oil Systems section of this manual.
For specific information related to your gauges, refer to the materials in your owner's package that was provided
by the gauge manufacturer.
Head Waste System
WHAT IS THE LAW?
a wide spectrum of water pollution problems, including marine sewage from boats in navigable U.S. waters
including coastal waters up to three miles offshore. The law further provides for "no discharge" by boats operated
in enclosed lakes and reservoirs or in rivers not capable of interstate navigation. States may apply to the EPA to
have certain other waters declared "no discharge zones" if discharge of treated sewage would be harmful. In
short, boats with installed toilets must have an operable Coast Guard approved Marine Sanitation Device (MSD)
designed to either hold sewage for pump out ashore or for discharge in the ocean beyond the three mile limit, or
to treat the sewage to Federal standards prior to discharge.
All boats built since 1977 with installed toilets must have an operable approved type I, II or III MSD. Since 1980,
all boats (including those built before 1977) with installed toilets must have an operable MSD. Both the U.S.
Coast Guard and the Natural Resources Police can enforce MSD requirements.
Check with your local authorities, Coast Guard, local marina or your dealer for the rules and/or laws that may
apply specifically in your area.
Head - Porta-Potti
The porta-potti is equipped with a 2.8-gallon holding tank. To operate the porta-potti system:
•
Set the portable toilet on its front side so the cap on the holding tank is in a vertical position.
Remove the cap and add SeaLand brand holding tank deodorant following the instructions on the
deodorant container. Replace the cap firmly.
•
Before using: Set the portable toilet in the upright position and remove the cap located on the
right, rear side of the fresh water tank. Fill with fresh water just below the neck of the fresh water
inlet. Depress the bellows pump to add water to the bowl.
•
After using: To flush, open the slide valve by pulling out the handle and press the bellows pump
one or more times. After flushing, close the slide valve by pushing the handle.
•
Caution: Never add holding tank deodorant to the waste holding tank by pouring directly into the
toilet bowl.
