#2 The tank's contents can be discharged with the overboard MACERATOR only in specified Canadian

waters.

To operate the macerator, depress the MACERATOR ROCKER SWITCHES simultaneously on the DC

electrical panel. Listen to the macerator pump's sound. When the pitch becomes higher, the tank is

empty. Discharge may be observed on the starboard side. It should only take a few minutes to empty the

tank

Y-Valve

The Y-VALVE directs waste effluent into the sanitation-holding tank or flushes the effluent 'directly

overboard'. The Y-VALVE is located under the hatch in the galley floor.

A plastic strap keeps the

handle pointed to the holding tank – the normal position. Y-valves are usually wire-tied to the holding

tank position in respect to Coast Guard regulations. Please leave it "as is" unless there is an emergency.

Be familiar with the applicable laws concerning dumping sewage directly overboard.

WATER SYSTEM

Fresh Water Tank(s)

The FRESH WATER TANK holds 80 gallons. Observe the water level by lifting the deckhatch in the

middle-ship stateroom. Check the gauge under the hatch. Waste water from the sinks and showers drains

overboard through various thru-hulls usually located under the sinks.

To refill the tank, remove the WATER CAP; it is located on the starboard side. Avoid flushing debris

from the deck into the tank opening. DO NOT fill water and diesel at the same time!

Fresh Water Pressure Pump

The WATER PRESSURE PUMP is located under the hatch in the galley floor.

Activate pump in the

galley by flipping on the "Water" switch to the right of the sink. If the water pump continues to run, you

are either out of water or might have an air lock and need to bleed the system by opening up a faucet. If

you run out of water SHUT OFF YOUR HOT WATER HEATER on the AC panel. Serious damage can

occur!

Hot Water Tank

The HOT WATER HEATER has an 11 gallon capacity tank and is available when connected to shore

power, running the generator, or via a heat exchanger underway. To use on shore power or generator, flip

on the water heater circuit breaker on the AC electrical panel. Do not use the water heater if the water

tank level is very low.

Before taking a SHOWER, make sure water pressure switch in the galley is turned on. Once in the

shower, turn on the sump pump switch rocker switch located behind the sliding door in the shower. Take

only very short "boat" showers (turning off water between soaping up and rinsing). To keep shower tidy
