To recap:
•
For #1, "AFTER USE" button ONLY.
•
For #2, "BEFORE USE" button first; "AFTER USE" button when mission accomplished.
It is important that every member of the crew be informed on the proper use of the MARINE TOILET.
The valves, openings, and pumps are small and may clog easily. If the toilet clogs, it is YOUR
RESONSIBILITY!
Always pump the head for children, so you can make sure nothing foreign is being flushed.
Caution – Never put paper towels, tampons, Kleenex, sanitary napkins, household toilet paper, or food
into the marine toilet. Use only the special dissolving marine toilet tissue provided by AYC.
The TOILET THRU-HULL is located under the forward cabin's sole. The valves are set up so that the
toilets discharge ONLY INTO THE HOLDING TANK. Do not change any of the Y-valves.
Holding Tank
The sanitation HOLDING TANK holds approximately 60 gallons. Be aware of the rate of waste
production (about 1 gallon per flush). With an overfilled tank, it is possible to break a hose, clog a vent,
or burst the tank. The result will be indescribable catastrophe and an EXPENSIVE FIX to you. Empty
the tank EVERY OTHER DAY to avoid this problem. Please check on the local regulations for where
discharging is allowed (this is your responsibility). No discharge is allowed in US waters and only in
certain areas in Canada. Manage the holding tank capacity by using shore facilities whenever possible
and by monitoring the level of the tank.
The HOLDING TANK is located under the sole in the forward stateroom. There is a Tank Watch holding
tank indicator with four indicator lights ("Empty", "Low", "Mid", and "Full") located at the main lower
helm station, but do not rely totally upon these as they often get clogged. When the "Mid" indicator
light comes on, you should pump out as soon as possible. You should never see the "Full" indicator
light! If you do, the tank is truly full. Do NOT flush even once.
The holding tank is emptied in one of two ways:
#1 At the Marine Pump-Out Station, remove the WASTE CAP located Starboard side, forward of
sliding door. Insert the pump-out nozzle into the waste opening. Double-check your deck fitting! You
may need an ADAPTER for some pump out setups. There are two ADAPTERS and a screw on
extension in a clear plastic box located in the engine room by the large toolbox. READ THE
"INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING PUMP OUT ADAPTERS" below and located in the box with the
adapters. Turn on pump and open valve located on handle. When pumping is finished, close lever on
handle and turn off pump. Remove from deck fitting.
Thoroughly clean, dry and restore adapter(s).
