read the marine head's
operation and maintenance
manual.

every opportunity.
Using the Marine 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.
