No Discharge Zone

There is also a law which a lot of Americans that boat in the
Canadian waters of the Great Lakes do not know about. "Porta
Potties" are prohibited. Your vessel must have a marine sanitation
device, which is permanently installed, with pump out capabilites.
No overboard discharge valves are allowed.

Is there a size limit for that kind of restriction? (No, not the size
of the head... g the size of the boat)

I've been told it applies to 22' boats....

And I believe there was a minor inaccuracy in the first post: Overboard
discharge valves aren't illegal, but being able to *use* them is. They
need to be "permanently" closed. Also, porta potties that are
permanently mounted and can be pumped out are legal.
