LOL...do you do that when you are in a mooring field with 100 other boats? I don't. She is going by the strict standard of "no discharge" in a no discharge area, which is almost everywhere unless you're passage making. I mean I can get to a discharge zone in like 45 minutes. I guess you could use dumping you tank as a reason to go "off shore" LOL Danny

I said, "Not really." She said "oh good! use the trident 101 hoses. I don't know of a single case where they have ever had a permeation issue." I guess I'm going to have black hoses...I guess I could paint them if the admiral has an issue with them... She also suggested a 24 gallon tank at least. She said, on average, a manual toilet uses .6 gal/flush and the average person uses the toilet at leas 5 times per day. So, at a minimum your putting 3 gal/day/person in the the tank. For 2 people you get 6 gal/day so that tank will not even last 4 days because you don't want to be filling it to capacity. So, we (she) decided the v-birth would be the best location for the new tank. I'll be heading down to the boat with the Ronco catalog in hand to figure out what the biggest tank I can fit under the v-birth. All in all, it will be a very simple system. Manual toilet (she said the Raritan PHC would have been here recommendation) to a Y valve diverting the waste either directly overboard or into the tank. A 1" vent, as far forward as I can get it. A pump out and potentially, a seperate fitting on the tank for a manual overboard tank drain with a manual pump. The project moves on. Danny Lolita 1973 Viking 33 Westport Point, MA
