Pump out adapter.

[dottieshusband]

Went to the dock to pump out today, and sadly... somebody before me lost the deck adapter. So, thought I should keep a couple aboard. I went to order them, but not sure if the thread/diameter. I measured the deck plate opening at 1 7/8.. dont know thread or nozzle diameter... anybody carry these camlock adapters onboard?

West marine has them, I think they’re 1 7/8

I have also used 90 deg elbows (ordered on Amazon) for when the dockside hose is straight and interferes with railings

EWWWWWW!!!!!

UNLESS ITS A ONE TIME USE THING. ID NEVER HAVE ONE ABOARD UNLESS ITS BRAND NEW AND NEVER USED. That's disgusting to have around anywhere it could come into contact with me.

I have one or two that are too big for my boat. They came off the Hatteras. If you’re not in a big hurry, I’ll send it to you. I can’t use it. I should be back over to the boat in a few days. One of mine has the green rubber cap. It blew off the other one.

Thanks Angela! I ordered one off ebay, but a second would be great. More than happy to pay you for shipping etc. PM me an email/paypal and cost. I measured 1 7/8 OD and 1 1/2 ID.

I just noticed the elbow I mentioned uses 1 1/2” fittings not 1 7/8. I ll check tonight when I get back to the dock if it fits the hatt fittings.

While I do agree with this precautions can be taken. As I am also an RV owner I was totally disgusted at what many people touch and how they store drain hoses (which is necessary). Won't go into details but I have a rock solid sanitary plan for dumping and storage of required items.

Commenting on this since Madeira Beach just installed brand new pump out system. Great, right? Well they don't have the right screw in thingy (that is a real technical term) for my waste outlet. So had to hold it and work hard to avoid any "volcanic activity". I will find the right threaded piece that fits their system and keep on board. It will be handled with disposable gloves and stored in a sealed container in a safe place on an exterior compartment. It can be done.

Sounds like the perfect humanitarian thing to donate to the facility.

So I’ve been bad bleaching mine after each use? Guess I’ll keep a microscope onboard now.

What a useful comment.

Sorry if sanitation is not as important to some than others. I noticed your storing yours in the area with controls. Great idea. Beats the galley for sure.

Maybe that’s why when a bat sneezes in China the world stops. Everything has to be cleaned, disinfected and sanitized so our immune systems are in hibernation!

When I was 15 my parents rented a Winnebago in California to take us on a two week vacation. We spent the first night in the rental parking lot. i was in charge of those levers underneath and dumped the holding tank in the parking lot by accident. We left reeeeeal early the next morning.

Apparently, Scott doesn’t let anyone use the toilet on his boat, and if he does, I guess he never has to work on the head or replace anything having to do with it. “Burn the boat” if there is a head malfunction.

Yeah....I do bleach wash stuff like that. And all of us handle pump out duties and equipment with disposable rubber gloves, I hope.

I love lectrasan. Never need to pump out. My boat has a "John Wayne head". And I did find a toilet replacement cheap enough to toss every 3 years when it needs servive.


But seriously I design and sell the systems and will install new but I DO NOT WORK ON USED ONES.

 

[Angela]

Didn’t a well-respected moderator recently start a thread about not being a dick when responding to someone’s post even when one thinks one is a “know it all”?

 

[Pascal]

LectraSan may be legal in some places but would you swim next to boat when one spurts out? Hell no

Aside from the fact it can be a pretty Shitty subject, it was something I didn't think about till now. In thinking about the great loop, was thinking plug in options. But with a hard top Solar is in the plan. Until this came up didn't think about the pump out variations. Guess that's something that should be standardized, a Shit load of adapters so to speak.
