I'm involved in pretty much the same project as K2 and would appreciate
some clarification on a couple of your points.

You say "Put the loop as close to the thru-hull as possible ". Not sure
what you mean here. My vented loop is about 1 foot higher than the thru
hull. Wouldn't this lessen the chance of water being forced back into the
toilet?

"As close to the thru-hull as possible" doesn't have anything to do with
the height of the loop, only with how far upstream from the thru-hull to
put the loop. Obviously, how far upstream depends upon how much height
is available...hence "...as close as possible..."

You also say "tee the line from the macerator into the head discharge line
as close as possible to the
inboard side of the loop". This is the line from the y-valve to the vented
loop, correct?

No...the vented loop needs to be on the outboard side of the macerator.

So when the Y-valve is set to run sewage to the holding tank
the toilet is shut off from the thru hull and you don't need to worry about
the macerator pumping back into the toilet, correct?

Right...but not the way you're envisioning it. The plumbing should be:

toilet to y-valve...one side of y-valve to tank, the other side to
vented loop and thru-hull.

From the tank to a macerator to a tee in the toilet discharge line
that's AFTER the y-valve, but ahead of the vented loop.

I can take the smell of rotten, festering, human waste. It's the sight
of it in the form of Peggy Hall I can't abide.

Was that really necessary?

I use Thunderbird as a mail and news reader. Does anyone know how to
block senders using Thunderbird?
Thanks

You can right-click on the "From:" name and select "create filter from
message". Or you can find it from the "Message" menu at the top.
The sequence: alt-M A Enter Escape does it for me.

It's just a joke, lighten up, dude! Doesn't anybody else think it's even
a little bit sad that a woman would make a career out of shipboard human
waste? If this is what passes for a life then something's drastically
wrong.

I wouldn't want to be a proctologist, but you must keep yours very busy.

Hey, it's a tough job but somebody has to do it, and Peggie has been
very good about sharing her expertise, even when knuckle heads make
derogatory comments. You are not the first, so it's not even
original.

Peggie is an asset to the group. And you are just what exactly?

It may be, but it's been very profitable. However, I haven't made a
career out of shipboard human waste, I've made a career out of helping
people to avoid having to deal with onboard waste. Unfortunately nothing
that allows people to avoid dealing with onboard human waste seems to
apply to online human waste, though.

Nope, not a bit. Aren't you glad folks do that for your subdivision as
well, or would you rather everybody just crap in the street?
