FWIW, I had a 14x6 Martec at the end of an old WESTERBEKE 15HP diesel pushing/pulling my CC35-II in and out of the slip and only when facing a real tailwind backing out of my slip, did I have noticeable problems.
So, for my new Electric motor, I dove in and bought a MARTEC 14X12 and will have to wait till spring to see if I go forward, sideways or backward. Cheers!

It was WAY too short! I just asked for a haul out today... Now we wait... I'm planning a new waste system installation this winter and I'm wonder how your boat is set up. Where the tank is, how it is piped, blah blah blah... I'm just looking for ideas in designing mine so, any pics would be awesome. I'll document my project. My handrails, traveler base and hatch boards came out really nice! I'd love to redo all the interior but it seems like quite and undertaking. If I were closer to the boat it would be different. It is the whole needing 8 coats, One coat per day, in the right temperatures that make it a difficult and time consuming process. If I could figure a way to keep the boat warm safely it would be great. Then Temp would not be an issue. Anyway the head is the priority right now. I hate the system in place currently... I googled you yacht club! That looks like a nice protected spot and very close to what looks like some g! reat sailing waters!! Hope all is well with you.

Message-ID: <20131021.112759.1822...@webmail-beta03.vgs.untd.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Okay guys, I'm planning a new waste system. I'm going with the Raritan PHC head and a new holding tank. I currently have a very old Jabsco head and a bladder holding tank. I really don't like the bladder. It has worked okay but, one day it will fail and it will be disgusting! I just want rid of it... I'm looking for ideas on the design. i.e. Where to install the tank and how to pipe it. I've been reading and I was thinking to try and install about a 16-18 gallon tank, that conforms to the hull, behind the head. However, after a closer look on Saturday, I'm not sure there is enough room there. I was kind of hoping to install it there in order to pipe up a gravity drain for when I'm in an area where that is possible. This would also keep the hose runs very short and I could easily vent and pipe the pump-out fitting in the side deck above. Of course that would have the need of piping up hill to get into the tank and make it a bit harder to clear the waste from the ho! se with every flush. Then I heard it might be better to have the waste run downhill to the tank. That would create the need of pumping overboard if I were in an area that allowed it and the need of another pump. I'm not exactly sure how the pump-out system works when having it done at a pump-out station. Is it a fitting that attaches to the deck fitting and sucks it up the hose or, do they run a smaller hose down into the tank and suck it directly out with their hose? Anyway, As always, any and all advice, insights and colorful comments are appreciated!

One branch to a thru-hull, one to the tank. The one to the tank needs a loop in it so it is above the water line at all times. The pump out connection is at the bottom of the tank and runs to a deck fitting. The pump-out fitting sits the marinas use inside the lip of the deck fitting and sucks out everything from there. The head will do all the work, no other pumps needed. Where are you going that discharge is legal?

They scare the hell out of me. The last one I used, the previous user had turned the open/close lever at the business end to close before turning the pump off. This left the hose full of waste up to the shutoff. When I cracked the valve to pump out our tank, there was some seriously explosive decompression and somebody else's * stuff* flew everywhere. I'm glad I don't have to use pumpouts very often, overboard discharge is still legal most places in Canada; I still make sure it's deep, fast-flowing water far from land.
