Are you familiar with the "Galley Maid" treatment system used on
Grand Banks trawlers in the early 80s? I'm curious to know whether
it is Type I, Type II or not at all. If so, is any maintenance
required to keep it legal?

Galley Maid makes both Type I (legal on boats 66') and Type II (for use
on boats 66'+) systems....so unless your boat is over 66', I suspect
it's a Type I...and if it dates from the '80s, I suspect it's one
designed to be an add on to a holding tank--a batch processor that
includes a pump to pull waste out of the tank into the treatment system.
When it's off, waste is held in the tank for pumpout, dumping at sea,
or later treatment and discharge when back in waters where the discharge
of treated waste is legal...so it's a legal system in ALL waters.

Their website http://www.galleymaid.com/sanitation.htm doesn't provide
much info about it, but does have contact information...I suggest you
call 'em for a manual and the answers to any other questions including
sources for the chemicals certified for use in it.
