    The neighbors lawn.......no, no just kidding. We renovated our dock and pool area last year. I had a 3" waste line with a thread cap added.

    I was contemplating doing the same thing this summer. I was going to use one of these: https://www.campingworld.com/barker-...c=ds&gclsrc=ds .
    And then set up an extractor vacuum motor (something like a ametek) on the top.

    I am also interested in what others have done, dockside. May use my boat for guests to stay on at the dock. Would be nice to be able to pump from the holding tanks to a sewer clean out behind the house. I don't have an on board macerator at this time. With two holding tanks I think it will take a lot of plumbing, running 12 volt wiring on a 32 volt boat, etc. Would be easy for me, if I found the correct set up, to pump dockside into a clean out much like the marinas do

    You mean the SSK (Soviet state of Kalifornia) allows overboard dumping within 100nm of its shoreline? Wow, I m
    Surprised ...

    Seriously, one thing to watch out for with the cheap Jabsco is that it can’t run dry. Yeah they’re have the price of the sealand but the sealand is bullet proof.

    Re: DIY Pump out station?

    Thats a good template for building my own but I sure don't want to hold that spring loaded switch down for it to pump 150 gallons of waste. Also 12 volts would require some rigging on my 32 V boat but not impossible. I would prefer a 110V model.

    Re: DIY Pump out station?

    For some reason all I can imagine is a 55 gallon drum of kaka on wheels getting away from someone and going bouncing down the docks to it's inevitable $#itty demise like a scene from Caddyshack.

    Sorry, but I just can't get it out of my head.

    The cleanest, cheapest, easiest, alternative is to go to the local fuel dock and get pumped out. If nothing else, it gives you a reason to run the boat.
