it looks like everything is in place, including the connection to the
toilet. the only thing missing is the sanitary line from the head to
the pump out connection on the deck. i just want to make sure i don't
blow up the toilet when i flush it out.

You worry too much. Go for it. What's the worst that can happen?

the head could blow up

and my wife, well, she would too!

Blow up, you say?


yeah. you suck a vacuum on a container not designed for it...and then
backfill it with water...the results would be unpleasant

If you plan to do that, you deserve to have it blow up in your face.

you ARE aware a pump out station applies a vacuum, right?


Is there a working vent in the holding tank? If you play your cards
right, the only vacuum applied to your system will be in the suction
hose that connects to the deck plate. I'm not sure what you mean by
backfill. You don't mean rinse, do you?

yep. the rinse...if it's too forcefull it could overpressurize the
system and either damage it or overflow the tank.

Of course the honey pot applies vacuum. How else is it going to "suck"
the **** out of your boat. That's one reason you vent your holding tank.
The chore of rinsing your holding tank should be given to someone with
enough common sense to do it without damaging anything. May I suggest
your wife?
