What are you trying to flush? Tennis balls?


No, but pretty close.

Also, what do you think about the idea of eliminating

the 'Y' valve in
the system and just having direct to holding tank with

the deck
pump-out? In a pinch, couldn't one manually pump it

overboard from the
deck? Are not the macerator and Y vales the most likely

place for
clogs to occur?


Mine goes direct to the holding tank with a manual pump

on a y-valve.
This end of the system has been trouble free.


So the Y valve is_before_the holding tank? Isn't that

illegal in many
areas?



Y valve *after* the holding tank. One side of Y goes to
manual pump and then thru hull. Other side goes to deck for
marina type pump out. I believe this is what he has?
