From what I read here, your reply and your listing as an expert on all
things poop, it seems to me you are in the turd business to make money.
You
cavalierly write that a deck fitting is no big deal, just drill it, and cap
it. Sure,,, and when Mr Sailboat owner is facing a wet core deck, will you
be there to fix it?

And, for what. A pump out that almost every boat owner has but never uses?

This is beyond stupid. To spend all kinds of money, drill holes in the
deck
of an old sailboat, so that a holding tank that will never get used is in
place is nutty.

If you are behind my boat and you see a blue bucket and it is being thrown
overboard ......... don't come to close.

This turds for you!

Some helpful advice. snip

Every boat I have been on in awhile has had a head with holding tank and
deck pumpout. In each boat the head and tank normally gets used, as
does the pumpout. The boat I most frequently sail on usually has
multiple people on it at any time, and the pumpout gets used frequently.
With just a small amount of care and patience you can have a sealed core
and sealed deck fitting that will likely never leak and never get a wet
core from that fitting. If you think the rest of your old boat isn't
going to leak from factory installed fittings, winches, hatches,
windows, etc. you're dreamin...

And as for Peggy, she gives quite a lot of detailed help to people here,
and useful advice and information in general. And she hasn't asked for
anything in return. So there's no need to get yer shorts all in a knot.

So if you don't mind having a leaky pumpout hose down in the cabin
suckin your stuff out, along with the everpresent possibility of a nice
spill, then go for it. Or maybe you can get rid of that pesky head and
just take a dump in your bilge and use the bilge pump since the
odiferous effect in your boat will be the same.
