First off - many thanks to those who have helped me so far. Did some more work to the boat today. While working on my "Ready boat for the season" list today I came across a few things that I'm not sure about. Can you all help me figure these out? Pictures included.
I haven't a clue on the first pix. The second pix of the "red cap" was found on the stbd side close to the holding tank. It has a little black plug that you can pull out of the red cap. The third pix is obvious concerning the "power and empty" indicators. What I'm wondering about is the "discharge pump and Head" buttons. I'm not sure what those are. Are they breakers, switches? what are they there for? What do they do? The fourth picture I'm thinking that has something to do with the pump out. I see a 3 way valve(?). What position should it be in? What's it used for? I did fill my fresh water tank today and initiated the toilet with #1. I turned the key to on and made sure the pump was turned on, on the helm. The vacuflush worked fine. It did not run continually. It shut off after 15 - 20 sec. So I think the duckbills are working okay. I did notice a smell outside the boat when I flushed though. Do I have the valve in the wrong position? I'm guessing I have it in the position it needs to be in for a pump out. Please advise. Thanks again everyone!
