6.14 SANITATION

The boat is equipped with high quality and advanced toilets which are easy to use.

Periodically you should turn each manual valve open and close a few times to kept the ball

valve in good operating order. All valves are non corrosive but seals should be lubricated. Use a

head lube from time to time. Always refer to the toilet manufacturers guidelines for

maintenance procedures and schedules.

NOTE: It is important to flush the toilet and holding tank well to not to let solid waste remain

in the pipe or tank for an extended time as it will consolidate and cause a blockage

All tanks (water, waste, fuel) have inspection ports on top for access inside the tank. A visual

check is recommended for possible containment and cleaning. There are a number of filters

around the boat for a variety of devices. All filters have a clear canister for easy visual

inspection.

Any thru hull should be regularly checked for growth that blocks or restricts the flow of raw

water. Also turn the seacock on and off to ensure they are good operating order.

Corrosion and dust are 2 of the most common things to watch for. Any electrical contacts that

are corroded should be cleaned or replaced. Dust should be removed from electrical breakers

contacts and fuses. A pressure pack can from any electronics store will be able to provide this.

Refer to electrical manufactures user manual for further maintenance advice.

Your boat is designed to be lifted by slings positioned near the main and aft engine bay

bulkheads. Always use a spreader bar so the points are loaded with an inward angle of 3-5

degrees. The boats natural Center Of Gravity (COG) is approximately 1000mm aft of the mast

which will require the fwd sling to sit approximately 400mm fwd of the main bulkhead.

Depending on your load the actual balance can be forward or aft of this point. The topping lift

and lazy jacks should be released and tied to the gooseneck to avoid entanglement on the

lifting gear.
