I would have to get the proper 'head' installed.
They are a bit picky about that up there... I believe it must be a pump
out system.. rather than a carry and dump.

We have that issue here in Florida. The law here allows you to
convert a "porta potty" to a permanent installation by securing it to
the bottom of the boat and installing two hoses - one for pump out
going to a deck fitting, and the other for a vent. The one on our
SeaRay is secured to the bottom of the boat by a couple of heavy duty
Velcro strips (hidden from view).


At least on the Snake River, Idaho. Porta-potty is all that is required.
Same at Catalina Island. At least a little common sense by government. I
am looking to tow the boat to British Columbia this year. Been a couple of
years sines we did that. The planning is fun. Port McNeill is high on the
list, but also thinking Sunshine Coast on the mainland. 3 years ago, did
Telegraph Cove and Campbell River and Albernie. Is illegal to pee in a
bucket and pour over the side, but legal to pee over the side directly.
Little common sense in the laws a lot of times. Something like 75% of
fisherman boaters that drown are found with their fly open. ****ing off
the transom or side.
