Your Baja
®
is available with 2 different head system
options. Below is a description of each option. You
should be aware of which option(s) your boat is
equipped with and read the sections pertaining to it.
The Owner’s Manual Packet in your boat contains
information pertaining to your head system that
should be carefully read.
SaniPottie: A mounted head that can be easily
carried off to dispose of waste.
SaniPottie Pump Out: Same as the above
SaniPottie, but with a pump out attachment on
the side of the boat to which can be hooked up
to a disposal station on the dock.
DocksiDe puMp-ouT
To empty holding tank, the services of a dockside
pump out station will be needed. Follow instructions
at the station and make sure pump out station hose
is inserted into the deck plate marked WASTE. Do
not confuse the waste pump-out for the fuel
ll.
requireMenTs for operaTors
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
standards state that in freshwater lakes, freshwater
reservoirs or other freshwater impoundments
whose inlets or outlets are such as to prevent the
ingress or egress by vessel trafc subject to this
regulation, or in rivers not capable of navigation by
interstate vessel trafc subject to this regulation,
marine sanitation devices certied by the U.S. Coast
Guard installed on all vessels shall be designed
and operated to prevent the overboard discharge
of sewage, treated or untreated, or of any waste
derived from sewage. The EPA standards further
state that this shall not be construed to prohibit
the carriage of Coast Guard-certied ow-through
treatment devices which have been secured so
as to prevent such discharges. They also state
that waters where a Coast Guard certied marine
sanitation device permitting discharge is allowed
include coastal waters and estuaries, the Great
Lakes and interconnecting waterways, freshwater
lakes and impoundments accessible through
locks, and other owing waters that are navigable
interstate by vessels subject to this regulation (40
CFR 140.3).
9. exhausT sYsTeMs
Your boat comes with a choice of different exhaust
systems. Below is a description of the standard and
optional systems on your 245 Performance.
Thru-Hub Exhaust (standard): Thru-hub exhaust
propellers consist of a round barrel to which the
blades are attached. The exhaust passes through
the barrel and out the back, without making contact
with the blades. This provides a good clean
water ow to the blades, usually resulting in good
acceleration and hole shot.
CorsaTM Performance Quick & Quiet II (option):
A full time, non-switchable, thru-hull exhaust system
that uses patented Silencer Tips with a pair of upper
exhaust splitters connected to the lower wishbone
and the exhaust riser.
CorsaTM Performance Quick & Quiet Plus
(option): An electronically operated exhaust
diverter used in conjunction with the same Silencer
Tips of the Quick & Quiet II system, but with the
added exibility to switch the exhaust ow to fully
silenced, thru-prop operation. The switch is used to
change the exhaust exits, either thru-prop or thru-
hull, which will provide maximum performance or
minimum exhaust sound.
Many areas regulate noise limits. Even if there
are no laws, courtesy demands that boats operate
quietly.
