Waste Water System; Head System Operation - Formula Cruiser Owner's Manual

PERFORMANCE CRUISER/SUPER SPORT
Certain inland waters maintain a no discharge
requirement for gray water. Your boat may have
come equipped with the Gray Water option.
Therefore, all gray water (sinks and shower
drains) is plumbed into the boat's waste holding
tank. Monitor your waste holding tank level
indicator regularly to know when it's time to have
the waste holding tank pumped out.
Sump Tank
Figure 5-13
Gray water from the head is also stored in the
waste tank. Refer to Specifications, in Section 3,
for waste tank capacity.
CAUTION
Do not flush into a full holding tank.
Attempting to flush the head when the tank
is full could result in damage to the waste
system.
The waste tank level indicator shows the level of
the water in the waste tank. Refer to Waste Water
Level Indicator, in Section 4.
To clear the tank of gray water, you will need to
use the dockside pump-out services provided at
marinas. Hook a suction hose to the pump-out
deck fitting marked WASTE and to the dockside
pump. The marina will handle the proper disposal
of the waste and may charge for this service.
It is strongly recommended that you regularly add
chemical to your waste tank by flushing it through
the head to control odor and break down the
waste. Follow the waste tank manufacturer's
recommendations on chemical use.

WASTE WATER SYSTEM

Waste water from the bilge pump(s) and sump
tank is directed to a waste water manifold. The
waste water manifold handle must be in the open
position for the waste water to discharge through
the hull fitting. Refer to Specifications, in Section
3, for waste water manifold(s) location(s).
