C.VacuFlush® Head (Option)

The VacuFlush® head utilizes a HEAD SYSTEM breaker on the main distribution panel. The foot pedal at the base of the toilet opens a mechanical seal and vacuum forces waste through the opening in the bowl to an accumulator tank, through the vacuum pump and then to the holding tank or treatment tank (See Figure 7.5.1).

D. Holding Tank Operation

Waste from the head is directed into the holding tank located in the engine room. The holding tank fluid level indicator is located on the main distribution panel or in the head which indicates 3/4 FULL, FULL and DO NOT FLUSH, or on some models may read Full, 1/2, or Empty. When the FULL light is on, the DO NOT FLUSH light will also be on. When these lights are ON, the holding tank must be emptied before the head can be reused.

E.Vent Filter

The vent filter is designed to control odors associated with the head system operations. The vent filter is located on the holding tank. The filter must be changed at the beginning of each boating season to be effective. The vent filter is installed in-line on the holding tank ventilation hose.

Note: Do not over fill the holding tank as this will flood the vent filter and render it useless. Filter replacement will then be required. See Parts Manual for correct replacement filter.

10.Exhaust Systems

Your boat comes with a choice of different exhaust systems. Below is a description of the standard and optional systems on your 342 Performance.

Thru-Hub Exhaust (standard): Thru-hub exhaust propellers consist of a round barrel to which the blades are attached. The exhaust passes through the barrel and out the back, without making contact with the blades. This provides a good clean water flow to the blades, usually resulting in good acceleration and hole shot.

CorsaTM Performance Quick & Quiet II (option): A full time, non-switchable, thru-hull exhaust system that uses patented Silencer Tips with a pair of upper exhaust splitters connected to the lower wishbone and the exhaust riser.

CorsaTM Performance Quick & Quiet Plus (option): An electronically operated exhaust diverter used in conjunction with the same Silencer Tips of the Quick & Quiet II system, but with the added flexibility to switch the exhaust flow to fully silenced, thru-prop operation. The switch is used to change the exhaust exits, either thru-prop or thru- hull, which will provide maximum performance or minimum exhaust sound.

Many areas regulate noise limits. Even if there are no laws, courtesy demands that boats operate quietly.
