Default Manual or Electric Head? It is time to Replace.

Yeah... but not fresh water from the boat. That's just a waste of good
water.

But you still need some flush water which would come in
through a through hull, no?

Also true.. if you're far enough offshore, you don't use

the holding tank.

Well, I did say serious sailing and to me that means

offshore. Ok, if you
want to let them fill the holding tank when it is

perfectly acceptable to
send it straight overboard.

If you did any serious sailing you would realise that

you
do not even have to be sailing for this to be a

necessity.

And if you did any serious sailing you would know that

some boats are
equipped with holding tanks and do not require that

seacocks be opened
or closed by guests.
