My marina charges CAN $20 for transient pumpouts.

I don't have a lot of experience but I've always seen the pumpout at or near
the gas dock.

Thanks for all the replys.
All the boats I am looking at come standard with the porta pottie in the
cuddie. The thing I'm contemplating is to get the pump out option or not.
Its me, my wife and 3 kids total.
I'd expect outings to be several hours at a time, not necessarily all day.
I'd expect that If I do an all day trip, there would be some stops along
the
way to some dock side restaurants or something.

One question, is do all marinas have a place to pump out?
Where are they usually located? near the fuel point?
I don't mind spending money for convenience, after all boating is not a
low
$$$ hobbie now is it?
If they charge for it, how much is it?

David

What is invoved in pumping out? Where?
If not pumped out, what is involved in dumping the wast in the little
tank?
I live in the Baltimore/Annapolis are of the Chesapeake.

In Friday Harbor, WA, the pump out was (is?) located right next to the
floating seafood shop, smack in the middle of the marina. Appetizing!

IIRC, it was something like a buck or two in quarters to pump out.
