The holding tank is equipped with a waste tank

level indicator in the head compartment. Check

this regularly to see how full the tank is. When

the tank is full, do not use the head. If the tank

is overfilled, waste can plug the vent or cause

the tank to rupture, allowing its contents to

empty into the bilge. Checking the level regularly

is time well spent.

To empty the holding tank, Wellcraft recom-

mends using a dockside pumpout facility.

Connect the hose from the pumpout facility to

the fitting marked WASTE on the starboard side

deck.

When pumping out the holding tank, place the

waste cap in a secure place. If you drop it into

the water or it falls overboard, you will probably

not be able to retrieve it. Consider keeping an

extra cap on board in case you drop one over-

board. Flush the head several times to clean

waste buildup out of the lines and rinse out the

tank.

Flushing fresh water through the head is also a

good idea if you will be leaving the boat for two

or more days. Doing so will clear all waste from

the lines into the holding tank. Waste in the

lines tends to dry out. These hardened wastes

may affect future operation because they make

the inside diameter of the hose smaller.

OVERBOARD DISCHARGE

IMPORTANT: Overboard discharge of untreated

sewage within three miles of land is prohibited

by law. Check with local authorities for proper

discharge procedures in your area. If your boat

is going to be used on inland waters, have your

dealer seal the overboard discharge portion of

your waste system.

If regulations permit, the macerator can be

used to pump waste from the holding tank over-

board. The MACERATOR circuit breaker switch

at the DC Control panel controls the power sup-

ply to the macerator. The macerator pulls the

waste from the holding tank, grinds the waste

into small particles, and pumps the waste over-

board through a hull discharge fitting above the

water line.

Follow these procedures to operate the macerator:

1. Switch the MACERATOR breaker switch at

the DC main electrical control panel to ON.

2. Allow the macerator to run until the holding

tank is empty, but no longer. Running the

macerator when the tank is empty will

cause damage to the pump.

3. When you hear the pump speed up (indi-

cates tank is empty), immediately switch the

MACERATOR breaker to OFF.

BILGE SYSTEM

AUTOMATIC BILGE PUMP

Your cruiser is equipped with several bilge

pumps. (The number of pumps will vary by

model). The automatic bilge pumps remove

water from the bilge area. Rising water activates

a float switch to start the pump. When most of

the water has been pumped out, the float

switch shuts the pump off. The pump has a

manual override. The pump can be turned on

manually using the switch at the helm.

If for some reason the pump fails to start,

check the fuse and wiring connections. If the

pump motor runs but no water is discharged, it

may be clogged. Keep the area around the

switch and the pump free of debris. If there is

no visible debris clogging the pump or blocking

the float switch and water is still not being

removed, inspect the discharge hose for kinks

or obstruction.

Be kind to our environment. If oil or fuel is

spilled in the bilge, do not run the pump. Keep

the oil or fuel from spreading in the bilge and

properly dispose of it on shore.
