Do not empty the waste water tanks into the water.
Plan your voyage in a way that you can always reach shore with proper fixed waste water tanks in good time before your waste water tanks get filled.
- Make sure the seacocks in the waste water openings on your boat are closed tightly.
- Connect the suction hose from the shore tank to your boat’s waste water discharge outlet marked with the text Waste.
- Turn on the waste water pump of the shore tank.
- Hold the suction hose tightly in place in the discharge outlet during the whole emptying process to prevent any accidental spilling onto the deck or into the water.
- When the waste water tank is empty, shut off the waste water pump on the shore.
- Disconnect the suction hose from the discharge outlet on your boat and close the outlet lid tightly.
