Do not rely on the depth finder to determine a safe depth for swimming. The depth finder reads from the middle of the boat, not the back or front.

9.Head Systems

A.Requirements for Operators

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards state that in freshwater lakes, freshwater reservoirs or other freshwater impoundments whose inlets or outlets are such as to prevent the ingress or egress by vessel traffic subject to this regulation, or in rivers not capable of navigation by interstate vessel traffic subject to this regulation, marine sanitation devices certified by the U.S. Coast Guard installed on all vessels shall be designed and operated to prevent the overboard discharge

of sewage, treated or untreated, or of any waste derived from sewage. The EPA standards further state that this shall not be construed to prohibit the carriage of Coast Guard-certified flow-through treatment devices which have been secured so as to prevent such discharges. They also state that waters where a Coast Guard certified marine sanitation device permitting discharge is allowed include coastal waters and estuaries, the Great Lakes and interconnecting waterways, freshwater lakes and impoundments accessible through locks, and other flowing waters that are navigable interstate by vessels subject to this regulation (40 CFR 140.3).

B. Portable Head with Pump-Out

The portable head unit has two individual holding tanks. The top tank is fitted with a hand pump and holds fresh water and chemicals. The bottom tank is for holding waste material (See Figure 7.4.1). There is an option for a dockside pump-out hose attached to the waste material (bottom) tank. The pump-out hose leads to the waste pump-out opening on the starboard side of the transom. To empty the holding tank, the services of a dockside pump-out station are needed. Follow instructions at the station and make sure the pump-out station hose is inserted into the deck plate marked “Waste.”
