We have a pump that actively pumps it overboard through a seacock (when appropriate etc.).

I realized I have never tried to do it and was not sure how it is done. I don’t have a macerator pump that I can see. The Y valve is zip tied so taht would have to be cut. There is a hose from the holding tank that goes to a large stopcock normally kept closed. I am presuming that if I opened the Y valve and stopcock, the downhill pressure of the water in the holding tank would push it out the opening. Is that correct and legal?
