I think you'd find that harder to do than you think. The pumpout hose
comes out of the tank at the bottom, so you can't disconnect it from the
tank without dumping it...you'd have to disconnect the hose from the
deck pumpout fitting...and then be VERY careful to keep it above the top
of the tank while you carry it off the boat to dump it.


On my Sealand unit, the pumpout connection fitting is on the top of the
tank,
and there is an internal tube from there going to the bottom. You can
disconnect
the hoses, and put on the supplied cap without spilling anything.

Yes, mine is configured the same way and it is relatively simple to hand
dump if necessary.

That's good to know, 'cuz that's a somewhat recent change. Thanks for
the heads up. (Obviously, I need to update my catalogs). However, not
all of 'em are designed that way.
