On our 1989 C&C 30-2, our macerator switch is on the vertical face of the molded in "vanity" in our head, just below the shower sump drain switch. It very much seems like the right place for it since it is close to the Y valve and head discharge/tank discharge thru-hull. It is a waterproof switch because of the shower of course. I can definitely hear the macerator in the head as it is mounted in the cockpit locker on the other side of the bulkhead.
Of course ours very rarely gets used as it is illegal to dump within 3 miles off the coast (in US and CAN.) I am pretty sure the Straits and inland rivers do not qualify as 3 miles offshore, but I could be mistaken.
