Water Heater (Optional)

The optional 6-gallon capacity water heater is located in the cabin behind
the galley area. It is best accessible by removing the refrigerator.
To operate the water heater, locate the water heater and the AC main
switches on the AC/DC panel and turn them both to the on position.
Allow the water heater pump to operate for a couple of minutes then turn
on the hot water faucet either in the galley or in the head to check the
water temperature. When finished, turn off all the water faucets along
with the water heater and DC main switches on the AC/DC panel.

Shower System and Shower Sump Pump

The shower sump pump is used to pump out any gray water (used water) from the system. The pump is located
inside the cabin and is accessible through the mid-berth access hatch under the mattress. Water from the sink
and floor drains, in the head area, is pumped out via this system. Under normal operations, as water drains
through the sink and shower drains, the float switch activates the pump and allows the gray/used water to be
pumped overboard.
To operate the shower system and the sump pump, go to the AC/DC panel in the
cabin, locate the DC main, sump pump and fresh water switches and move them
all to the on position. Visually inspect the sump pump to ensure it is properly
secured and listen to hear the pump running. When you have finished using the
sump pump system, turn all switches (DC main, sump pump and fresh water)
back to the off position

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.

Dockside Discharge Waste Outlet

This stainless steel fitting labeled waste is located amidships on the port gunwale. Twist the cap to open the
fitting and connect to your marina's dockside service facilities.

Vacuum Flush Head System with Holding Tank

Your Pro-Line is equipped with a VacuFlush head system and dockside discharge. The overboard discharge
system is available as an optional installation.
Note: There must be fresh water in the fresh water holding tank in order for the head macerator
pump to operate and properly flush the system. Operating the pump with an empty tank could
cause serious damage to the pump.
Congress enacted the Clean Water Act of 1972 (amended in 1987). This law addresses
