Always empty the grey and black water tanks into the fixed waste water tanks onshore.
About this task
Pollution and health hazard.
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.
- Use the Grey water pump button on the toilet compartment control panel to pump the grey water from the holding tanks to the grey water tank.
- Make sure the seacocks in the grey and black water openings on your boat are closed tightly.
- Connect the suction hose from the shore tank to your boat’s grey water or black 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 water.
- When the grey water tank or the black 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.
