Hi all,

How do the heads work on smaller boats such as the Maxum 2100SC and
other similar craft ? Do they flush overboard or must you remove the
head and dispose of the waste manually ?

Thanks,

Duke


It will not flush overboard. Depending on the type of head (fixed or
portable) it will either flush into a holding tank that must occasionally
be pumped out or flush into a small holding tank at the bottom of the
(portable) unit that has to be pumped out or manually dumped into an
approved holding tank.


Hi Jim,

Thanks. Being new to this arena, where would one find an approved holding
tank ? Is this something that would only be available at a marina ?

Nomally, yes.

I am assuming you have a porta-potty.


Would it be possible to just dump it into your homes waste system.

That what I have done with porta potties in the past. See my other note
below.


I have a clean out trap at home with a 4inch pipe as the opening. Seems
like I could just unsrew and dump into there. Or would that make no sense
?

Just flush it down the toilet.

So that there is not a large accumulation of TP that could clog up the tank
make sure to use Marine grade TP. Also make sure to mix in deoderizer into
the flush water holding tank.



Thanks again,

Duke
