Doral Venzia

[saposoft]

I'm the proud owner of a Venezia , it's in italy in the Rimini Marina , a very nice place.
The Boat is the first one to come to italy , we saw her at the Genoa Exhibistionn and fell in love almost the same moment.
We never had a boat before , not even an inflatable, so we are absolute beginners at boating.
We already have a question for the fellows forumist.
Which is the correct sequence of thing to do to use the Macerator ? there is something to do before putting the boat in the water ? like a protection to remove or anything else to do ?
The question arise from our actual experience with the macerator , I've opened the valve in the hull , switch the Y valve to show the arrrows from the gray tank to the macerator and switched ON the macerator, after 30 minutes of operation the tank is still FULL ... the motor of the macerator in not even warm , and keeps doing a ritmic noise like Whoomp whoomp , just like a pulse pump .
Any suggestions ?

Re: Doral Venezia !! Macerator Problem Solved !!

Turned out that there is a an electro valve between the hull valve (mechanical) and the macerator and that it was wired in reverse so it never open, blocking the discharge of the macerator ... strange that the elctro valve was not shown in the schematic of the boat.
Anyway there is a way of telling that the valve i fitted , there is a microswitch under the handle of the hull valve and I think it's an consensus for the elctro valve.
Still investigating if it was a snafu in production at Doral or what ...

Glad you have solved your problem. I would be writing to Doral to tell them. Enjoy your new boat.
