5.3. Seacocks
Seacocks are of the 1/4-turn type:
- OPEN position: handle in line with seacock body,
- CLOSED position: handle perpendicular to seacock body.
- Never interfere with the tightening of the seacocks to the hull. In the event of a leak,
consult a professional.
- In bad weather or when leaving your boat, close all the sanitation system seacocks.
- Keep seacocks closed when not being used.
- During wintering, clean and rinse the seacocks and skin fittings. Inspect the brass
accessories; slight surface corrosion is normal.
- In the event of more serious corrosion, consult your agent.
5.4. Operation of the sea toilets
- Open the sea water inlet seacock.
- Open the bowl emptying seacock.
- Set the lever to the "FLUSH" position.
- Operate the pump.
- To empty the bowl and avoid any water slopping when heeling, set the lever to
the "DRY BOWL" position.
- Operate the pump until the bowl is dry.
- Repeat these flushing / emptying operations as many times as is necessary to
ensure complete emptying of the pipes.
- When toilets are not being used, set the lever to the "DRY BOWL" position, or
the "CLEF" position for certain models.
- Close seacocks after use, as the toilet is below the waterline
- Change the toilet seals regularly
