Weird question guys, but I have a 32 fountain fever that I just purchased, 96 model and it has a fresh water sink and a porti potti. I have not used either system and I dont know how, and received no instructions on how the systems work. Can someone tell me how I get water in the sink system and how I get it out, how the whole deal works? Also, the porti potti when used, where do you pump them out? Is there some holding tank on the boat in the hull. I cant find any information on these systems on the internet. Also, the boat has a fresh water flush system at the front of the engine compartment. Having only used ears on the lower unit to flush, is this system set up to just hook a hose to and flush, or is it designed to hook a hose to and run the boat? I run the boat in fresh water so I really dont need it, but I was wondering if that flush system is only designed to use when the boat is not running.
Thanks so much.

if your fresh water system is working,,,you should hear the pump run a few seconds,,then just open the faucet,,,as for the port a potti,,if it has a pump out system you will see a hose going the the port a potti to an fitting so you will be able remove your waste,,,if you dont youll have to remove the port a potti from the boat first,,and then remove any waste,,,the sink will drain out the side of the boat

Ok, so how to I get water in to the sink. The pump does run. Do I just pour water in to the sink to fill up the tank? I will check out the porti potti for a hose. Did you have any ideas on the flush port in the engine compartment?
Thanks so much

You should have a water fill on the outside of the boat. It looks like a fuel fill cap, but should say water.

If it has a waste holding tank, then you might also have a cap similar to the fuel filler that says waste on it.

Your fresh water fill is probably in the engine compartment. It has a common garden hose-end. Ours was located on the port wall, almost up to were the hatch comes down. You can probably see the fresh water tank in the engine compartment as well. trace the hose to be sure.

You fill the sink holding tank from inside the engine compartment with a garden hose. I think it is a 6 gal tank. The sink drains overboard. Porta pot: if just a standard toilet, you gotta remove the bottom part of the toilet from the boat to empty. Some have a pump out fitting in front of the windshield on the drivers side. so you just empty the holding tank from the outside w/o haveing to remove the toilet tank, but this option is very rare on a 32. Pic is of the fill and vent for the sink holding tank. rear fill is for engine flush, you won't have that.
