Head System (Option); Macerator/Overboard Discharge - Boston Whaler 270 VANTAGE Manual

Section 3 • Systems & Components Overview & Operation

Head System (Option)

Your 270 Vantage can be equipped with a waste
containment/disposal system. The system includes
a Vacu Flush toilet, a 6 Gal. (22.7 L) holding tank
®
with vacuum pump, macerator, lockable discharge
seacock, dockside pump-out connection and a thru-
hull vent.
NOTICE
This boat is equipped with an overboard
discharge seacock.
Severe state and federal penalties are levied
for discharging raw sewage and solid waste
in waters where it is not permitted.
Demonstrating that you have disabled the
macerator by locking the system and/or
removing the seacock handle may avoid a fine.
It is also illegal for any vessel to dump plastic
trash anywhere in the ocean or navigable
waters of the United States.

Macerator/Overboard Discharge

The macerator/discharge pump draws solid and liquid
waste from the holding tank and processes it prior
to discharging it overboard through the macerator
seacock located in the aft bilge. The macerator is
designed to handle waste, toilet and facial tissue and
will not pump solids. The key necessary to actuate
the overboard discharge unit can be found in your
owner's manual packet.
NOTICE
Because your waste system is a "low water"
use system, there is special paper which MUST
be used to prevent clogs. The manufacturer
has provided information regarding the type
of paper that must be used.
NEVER use residential tissue paper in your
marine waste system.
