I have a 72 Trojan that has a factory head with water line and mace
pump. The original configuration had the waste water dumping to the
water thru a valve. At some point the previous owner instead rerouted
the waste AFTER the pump to 2 5 gal bucket holding tanks that must be
manually emptied.

Is there a holding tank (small one) I can replace this with so I can
pump out, or

is there some way to put a pump out on these buckets

or can I simply put it back the way it was and have the waste go right
in the water ?

Seems to me that if the boat was built that way it is ok or Not ?

TIA

The answer to the last question depends on where you operate the boat. If
you are on one of Canada's ocean coasts you can go back to discharging right
into the water. If you are in the Great Lakes, no, not at all. If you are
in the US you can not direct discharge into the water unless you are in the
ocean and more than 3 miles out to sea from the coastline. Every where
within that 3 mile limit direct discharge of untreated waste is illegal.
Peggie can provide more info about this (if she still reads this group). Or
you could search in Google groups as this topic has been covered in the
past.

Victoria British Columbia dumps 20 tons of raw sewage every day into the
Straits of Juan deFuca so your little bit shouldn't hurt!
