FLOODING and SWAMPING HAZARD!
• Close the seawater intake seacock when leaving your boat unattended for any length
of time.
• If the seacock is left open, a hose failure could flood the bilge, swamp the batteries and the
engines, and even sink your boat.
• Before using this sys-
tem, read the marine
head's operation and
maintenance manual.
• Look at the side of the
holding tank to check
the content level.
• The dockside pump-out
deck fitting is marked
WASTE.
• Empty the holding tank
at every opportunity.
Using the Marine Head
1. Open the head's sea-
water intake seacock.
2. Before using the head,
pump water into the
bowl to wet the sides.
3. After use, pump until
the bowl is clean.
4. Pump a few more
times to clean the
lines.
5. If excess waste causes
the water to rise in the
bowl, stop pumping until the water recedes.
• Close the intake seacock when the system will not be used for long periods of time.
Winterizing the System
Read the marine head's operation and maintenance manual for winterizing instructions.
