Wow.....So clean that I wouldn't have guessed that you keep it outdoors... how tall of a person can sleep in the main and second berth? Also with the waste tank only being 10 gals. Under normal conditions, can two people do a 3 day trip before you have to pump it out?


Keep in mind that when you are 3 miles offshore, (1) open through hull, (2) flip circuit breaker, (3) turn key to pump overboard - only takes a couple of minutes.

My marina has a self use pump out station, that is rarely used & I still find it easier to pump overboard.

Absolutely! When I ran the boat up from FL to SC, we made a couple legs outside and pumped out as we ran. I had to lube the key tumblers in the head. The switch was stuck in the off position. There’s also an auto setting. I guess that starts the pump automatically when the tank is full?

The auto setting turns the pump off when the tank is empty. By design, it will not start it when the tank is full. If I am pumping out, I hold the switch "on" for short time after the green light (empty) comes on as some sloshing can turn the light on prematurely.

Thanks! I was wondering about auto on! LOL! I thought it might be for when you were off shore all day?
