head question
 

OK basic question: boat has a porta potty (actually more than a PP;
it's hard installed in the boat). no holding tank apart from the 3
gallon tank on the potty. it has a drain port for connecting to god
knows where. it was connected to a line allowing direct dumping to
the sea....but, since i don't like my buddies on the gold side of the
USCG busting me, i disconnected it.

question: can i hook a sanitary line directly from the output of the
potty to the pump out connection, and pump out the potty's holding
tank?

will a pump out damage the potty, or, god forbid, blow its contents
all over the head? a buddy of mine did that once on his boat...got
the valving wrong and coated his head. NOT a pleasant thought....

thanks everyone (and where's peggy when you need her?)

I'm guessing a one way valve would prevent a backlash. You should be
able to adapt it for pump out. It'll take some dismantling, and
rigging the piping, as well as drilling the deck to accept the plug.

it looks like everything is in place, including the connection to the
toilet. the only thing missing is the sanitary line from the head to
the pump out connection on the deck. i just want to make sure i don't
blow up the toilet when i flush it out.

If you plan to do that, you deserve to have it blow up in your face.

Is there a working vent in the holding tank? If you play your cards
right, the only vacuum applied to your system will be in the suction
hose that connects to the deck plate. I'm not sure what you mean by
backfill. You don't mean rinse, do you?

yep. the rinse...if it's too forcefull it could overpressurize the

Of course the honey pot applies vacuum. How else is it going to "suck"
the **** out of your boat. That's one reason you vent your holding tank.
The chore of rinsing your holding tank should be given to someone with
enough common sense to do it without damaging anything. May I suggest
your wife?

I had a small MSD on my trailerable Sandpiper 565.
It had a deck cleanout and a vent. i never did use it but it was typical of
what was installed on boats in central Canada in the 80's & 90's.
Here on the coast we are still allowed to discharge directly to the sea.

that's kind of what the unit looks like. don't know if it's made to
be flushed out at a pump out or not so i'll have to do some reading
up. but it was connected to the sea connection on the boat...it isn't
any longer!

Actually not taxing at all. And you seem to be the one who is confused
about how to safely move **** from your boat to a honey pot without

Let me rephrase the question. Would your wife consider you "handy around
the house", or would she call you a "klutz"?

i'm smart enough to know my limiitations.

Fair enough. You should have a knowledgeable person look over your
situation with the head and set it up for you or advise you on what to do.

OK basic question: boat has a porta potty (actually more than a PP;
it's hard installed in the boat). no holding tank apart from the 3
gallon tank on the potty. it has a drain port for connecting to god
knows where. it was connected to a line allowing direct dumping to
the sea....but, since i don't like my buddies on the gold side of the
USCG busting me, i disconnected it.

question: can i hook a sanitary line directly from the output of the
potty to the pump out connection, and pump out the potty's holding
tank?

will a pump out damage the potty, or, god forbid, blow its contents
all over the head? a buddy of mine did that once on his boat...got
the valving wrong and coated his head. NOT a pleasant thought....

thanks everyone (and where's peggy when you need her?)

I ran Peggy out of here. She caught me in most of my lies, and she
actually knew a lot about boats and made me look bad.

now, if you're gonna parody hk, try to do it with class, OK?


Class for the classless?

it looks like everything is in place, including the connection to the
toilet. the only thing missing is the sanitary line from the head to
the pump out connection on the deck. i just want to make sure i don't
blow up the toilet when i flush it out.

You worry too much. Go for it. What's the worst that can happen?

the head could blow up

and my wife, well, she would too!

Blow up, you say?


yeah. you suck a vacuum on a container not designed for it...and then
backfill it with water...the results would be unpleasant

I had a small MSD on my trailerable Sandpiper 565.
It had a deck cleanout and a vent. i never did use it but it was typical of
what was installed on boats in central Canada in the 80's & 90's.
Here on the coast we are still allowed to discharge directly to the sea.

I like it when you talk about "head" little buddy.
