This will prevent back filling of the toilet and/or the head sink and avoid possible
water overflow into head compartment when healing strongly in heavy sailing.
Do not put in the bowl: sanitary napkins, paper towels, cloth, cotton, cigarettes, matches,
chewing gum or any other solid objects, petroleum products, solvents or water that is more
than warm to the touch (no I don't want to tell you how to know this). Remember: Do not
put anything in the toilet unless you have eaten it first! Except of course toilet paper.
Shower
The water from the shower is collected in the molded bathroom floor and drained to the
outside by means of an electric sump pump. The switch to activate the shower pump is
located on the left front of the sink cabinet. Switch #11 on the 12V Electrical Panel will
need to be turned on before the sump pump can be used.
The fixture on the sink pulls out on an extended hose. The Water Pressure/Shower Pump
switch on the 12 v. electric panel must first be turned on. After completing your shower
flush the drain with water. Continue to run the shower sump pump in order to remove excess
water accumulation, which will reduce the potential for odor buildup!
MACERATOR PUMP
Where legal (i.e. in Canada outside closed bays, marinas, etc) and if treatment chemicals
have been added to the holding tank the macerator pump may be used to pump the tank.
Make sure the macerator through-hull is open. It is located in the storage area adjacent to the
holding tank, which is located under the cushion and hatch of the starboard settee bench.
The sewage tank is a 15 gal tank and does not have a gauge. You will need to use good
judgment empting the tank whenever you feel it is necessary. When the tank is overfilled it
will be difficult to pump the toilet and the tank should be emptied immediately.
When pumping the tank you will be able to tell it is empty by listening to the macerator
pump. There is a definite change in the sound of macerator pump when the tank is empty. A
full tank will tank only about 3-4 minutes to pump.
The macerator through-hull must be opened, (handle parallel to through hull fitting or
vertical) before turning on the "Holding Tank" Switch # 16 on the 12V Electrical Panel.
Failure to do so will result in damage to the pump.

HEATING
Espar Diesel Hot Water Heater
A diesel hot water heater provides heat to each of the yacht's cabins. The heater is separate
from the yacht's diesel engine. It is a separate diesel fired unit heating water in a closed loop
system, circulating this water in hoses throughout the yacht. The main cabin and each
sleeping cabin has a "radiator" type unit to provide the heat. The "boiler" is located under
