MILES FROM THE COASTLINE.
There is a holding tank "FULL" alert light located beside the fresh water gauge panel. When
the light comes on, you are five to six flushes from the tank overflow. You have two
options to empty the holding tank.
A. Holding tank pump out stations for removal of waste are located at selected harbors
and state parks. Check with the charter company for availability of waste removal
facilities. The waste removal port for pumping the holding tank at stations is located
on the starboard side of the boat, and is labeled WASTE. While the holding tank
capacity is 80 gallons. It fills rather quickly. The water used to pump waste from the
heads to the holding tanks, adds significantly to the volume. Two couples and a long
weekend usually means a full tank, so keep an eye on the FULL TANK alert light.
B. If in waters where you can LEGALLY dump the tank, the switches are located at the
bottom of the electrical panel. When both rocker switches are held down, the pump
will run.
SHOWER
A sump pump removes the shower gray water for the shower. The pump has an automatic
switch. Make sure that the drain is clear.
BILGE PUMPS
There are three bilge pumps on board that work automatically, even when circuit breakers are
off. One is located under the storage well between the main engines, one below the hot water
tank, and the third by the generator. Each bilge pump is equipped with a float switch that
will activate automatically when water reaches a preset level in the bilge. Nevertheless, the
bilge pumps should be checked frequently. There are also 2 manually activated bilge pumps
which are switched from the lower helm. If bilge water is present and the pump motor is
running, check to see if the pump is clogged with debris.
