Hi,
Thank you for the response. I really don't know much about the unit, except to say that the previous owner showed me how it worked when I sea trialed the boat last year. The boat was at the
dock and connected to
shore power. I can tell you that apparently the electrode pack is working because of the DC
current draw. He cycled the unit three or four times before it pumped the waste water
overboard. It wasn't connected to a
holding tank and he told me that every four cycles it automatically pumps overboard. You are correct on the age of the unit (1990). I removed the unit as soon as I purchased the boat and got it to my home port (Lake Erie). I did notice when I was removing the unit that the rotary
control box was disconnected and the wires where just laying in the
bilge floor. The other
control box was connected. It was used on the
Chesapeake Bay waters and now it's in fresh water and we have
pump out facilities where I'm located. That was the reason for the
removal, plus I didn't want the headache. I'm located in Butler PA. about thirty miles north of Pittsburgh. I can see that you know much more about this unit than I do, but if I can be be of any other help, please let me know. Also, in case you are interested in
purchasing it, the total weight of everything is around thirty two pounds.
Thank you,
Don Matteoni
