pump out or no pumpout head
 

a deciding factor is if this boat ever gets put on a trailer and taken
home
or to some other location. If your only option is to pump the tank out,
you
MUST empty the tank before you load the boat on the trailer to go home.
That can be a real hassle on a Sunday evening when you want to hurry up
and
leave. It can be impossible if you have visited a local lake that has no
pumpout.

You don't have to pump out every time you boat (although that's the best
practice). I bought a macerator pump and some fittings and created my own
pumpout which I can use at home. I plan to tie into the septic system but
for now I pump into a plastic tank and empty it into a toilet. Cost - about
$120.00. My holding tank (in a 25' cruiser) holds 15 gallons.
