Operating Manual for Sea Daze 4788 Bayliner
#1 At a pump-out station, remove the deck waste cap located starboard near the fuel fill. Be careful removing
the waste cap. It is not connected to the boat. Insert the pump-out nozzle into the waste opening (double-check
that you have the right deck opening). Turn on the pump on the dock and open the valve on the handle of the
hose. When pumping is finished, close lever on handle and turn off pump. If there is a fresh water hose on the
dock, rinse the tank by adding water for 1-2 minutes. Then pump out again to leave the tank rinsed and clean.
This rinse helps to eliminate any head odors.
#2 This is absolutely not permitted in US Waters and is subject to very severe fines. The tank's contents
can be discharged at sea by using the macerator pump. To operate the macerator, depress both of the Macerator
Rocker Switches (located in the pilot house DC electrical panel). Listen to the macerator's sound. When the
pitch becomes higher, the tank is empty. The only way to hear the pitch is to bring the boat to idle and lift up
the companionway stairs. It should only take a few minutes to empty the tank.

6 Water Systems

Sea Daze has approximately a 180 gallon pressurized water system, a dock side water inlet and two Raw Water
Wash down systems.

6.1 Fresh Water System and Tanks

Sea Daze has two water tanks, one is approximately 120 gallons and the other is approximately 40 Gallons.
The remaining portion of the 180 gallons is in the lines and hot water tank. The tank fill caps are on the
portside foredeck. Fill each tank one at a time. To fill the tanks, be certain the area around the fill caps is clean
and clear of debris. To minimize debris in the water tanks remove one of the deck water fill caps and fill the
tank and replace the cap before filling the other. Use the food grade white and blue striped hoses (regular
garden hoses will leave a plastic taste and odor in the water). Fill only with potable drinking water, verify the
water is potable not all dock water is.
A manifold to switch tanks is located under the companionway stairs (engine room access) on the port side of
the compartment, behind the hot water tank. There are two hoses feeding into the water pump. Each line has a
shut off valve. Turn clockwise to close and counterclockwise to open. It may be wise to only open one tank at
a time since the upper/forward tank (120 gallons) will empty first and then allow air to flow along with the
lower/midship tank's water (40gallons) to the pump possibly causing sporadic water flow at the sinks and
showers.
The water pressure pump is located under the companionway stairs (engine room access) on the port side.
Activate the pump by turning on the "water pressure breaker at the DC panel. The pump is a demand pump and
will only come on when pressure is needed.
If the pump continues to run, it is either out of water or has an air lock (which can be corrected by
opening a faucet). If you run out of water immediately shut off the pump and turn off the water heater
by turning off their respective breakers on the AC panel. Switch to the full tank as directed in the preceding
paragraph. Serious damage to the heating element can occur if the water heater is on without water.
A fresh water inlet is located on the transom for dock side water source. Connect a drinking water hose (white
with blue stripes) to the dock spigot and run water through the hose to purge air and stale water. Turn off the
water and attach the hose to the inlet. Turn the water back on. Turn off the water pressure pump at the power
panel.
