f25 plumbing questions

Post by gordd »

I have not tackled plumbing on boat yet so have cpl questions. In my f25 cabin cruiser water tank is located on port side basicly beside engine . On starboard side there is 2or 3 position handle that hoses go in and I suppose that controls water flow but not sure . Wont be sure what type of head I have until I get to boat but I thought was straight disgorge. Thing is I do have a pump out waste hole so assuming again there is holding tank somewhere ./ would anyone know where that tank may be located to check all the hoses and connection ? then have basic bathroom sink , kitchen sink and on top starboard side just before nav light looks like water hose hook up. I don't have a separate water inlet, like for fuel for example to fill tank with water so have to literally open tank fill it with water bellow the floor boards. Any help on how system operates would be gratefull

The 2-3 postion handle sounds like its for the head /holding tank . Photos would be a big help .

That valve is for the head / holding tank system . One hose should go to the the head one to the holding tank and one for overboard discharge ( not legall in most areas except off shore)

Trace the hoses and you should find your tank

Your main hose should come from your holding tank to that valve.On one one of your hoses comiming off the vavle there should be a pump to engage for overboard discharge. the valve in the other position with allow your tank to be pumped out through the hole in your last picture either by a dock pump out station- a portable pump or a pump out boat. Should be a cover on that last pic also. good luck

Ty express .. I did get cover for waste pump out .. this weekend I think will fill up water tank with water and see where all pipes are what's working leaking if anything. My water tank doesn't have inlet on deck ... its located port side of engine and basically fill it from under the wheelhouse floor by unscrewing the top . Is that normal on those boats ?

In the picture of the head itself, it looks like the hose connected to the top of the toilet is pinched. I would try loosening the hose clamp and spinning the hose to get rid of the kink or consider replacing it.
