So, where does the flush water come from?

Scotty... is Ken serious? We close the thru hulls for head intake underway,
and we instruct guest on how to open them. Holding tanks are the other end,
but Ken seems to be sucking from the wrong end of the pipe.

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.

Look, I asked for advice from people who have electric heads. If you
don't have one why are you wasting your time trying to impress us with
how much more knowledgable and experience you have than anyone else.
It is time for you to get a life. You might even think about steping
on to a boat, for instance.

I do that on 3-4 day sails, but you said ''serious
sailing''. In that case it would be a horrible waste of
fresh water, no?
