Not at all, just correcting erroneous information and learning at the same time.:grin: Heck I even thanked him for teaching me new stuff which I did not know. Sorry but I simply posted what I thought was a rather easy cheap solution for building a tank vent filter and a common way of...

Regardless of where the tube enters or exist the tank, the inlet is in the top of the tank and the outlet draws from the bottom. The determining factor is HOW is the macerator connected and in your case you cannot pour anything down the pumpout hole. Others here have the same vacuflush as you...

Thanks, missed that. I am surprised they show it on the North American site.

Man oh man, I even have to correct you Sea ray owners as to what is what. :grin: That link to the 305 is the US site. :wow: Maybe a new 2010 model? Here is what a conventional, non vacuflush system looks like. http://www.powerandmotoryacht.com/maintenance/marine-sanitation-systems/

OOPS, meant to link to the 305. http://www.searay.com/Page.aspx/pageId/10231/pmid/171223/305-Sundancer.aspx As in standard features Even all electric heads including mine are not plumbed like a vacuflush. Like I said, only the vacuflush system is plumbed like shown.

Let's make this clear. A Vacu flush is another animal and no it is not conventional. It normally is an upgrade just like on freekin Bayliners as you called it. I have several dock neighbors who own Sea Rays and none have this option. Mind you no one is bigger than a 31. Here is a link to this...

Because you need to buy the original product first which costs $100. Obviously if you already have one, it would be just as effective and not be any cheaper to modify your existing as shown in Ken's link.

Well I challenge you to find me a holding tank that does not have an outlet on the bottom. :smt100 Lets not get into a rumble here. The difference is most likely the vacuflush which you are talking about and a conventional which I am talking about. :wink: Look up holding tank for boats and this...

Fixed. :thumbsup:

Did you miss the part where it says it is safe for boats. :smt001

Maybe "some" systems are different but every holding tank I have ever seen (dozens) has a hose going from the bottom of the tank to the pump out outlet. The head is pumped into a separate line directly into the top of the tank. I have a macerator and it is also plumbed independently into the...

With a side kick like "Head & Potty stirrer" you are asking me this?? :grin: Pretty simple, pour it down the pumpout socket. :wow: The tank should be freshly emptied, then fill to about 3/4 full with fresh water, then add 1/2 gallon of bleach. Best is to drive around a bit to agitate...

Just a side note here. The filter is by no means meant to keep you from properly maintaining your holding tank with whatever product/method works best for you. I do shock it and throughly rinse it every fall before lay up and also shock and rinse in spring at launch. (shock=fancy word for...

That will work also but mine is about $100 cheaper. :grin:

You know that unpleasant stench you sometimes get from the vent on your holding tank? Normally it happens when you least want it and this little device already proven to work extremely well as it can be purchased at West Marine for the ridiculous amount of $99...

Why is a sale at $32 so hard to believe? You can buy them for $46. http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-POLK-AUDIO-DB651-6-5-COAXIAL-CAR-SPEAKER-6-1-2_W0QQitemZ120514716784QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCar_Speakers?hash=item1c0f3ca470#ht_606wt_1167

I agree with the vast majority, you need to pay up. Insurance will most likely have a $500 deductible or will just increase because you made a claim. I would offer him $500 and leave it at that. :wink: $750 does sound like a lot but that is most likely new tackle and paying someone to go out and...

Personally I do not cleat off myself for day time calm weather use. I agree, most times it is not required but over night is another story. As quoted above they recommend to tie off in stronger blows. I would not take the chance by not tying off before calling it a night as you never know what...

I have a Yamaha VX Cruiser PWC that I would like to tow behind Midnight Sun. I have read quite a bit on various forums but still am a little confused. My understanding is the Bombardier (BRP) brand requires pinching off the engine water intake hose or you will flood the engine however on a...

I have yet to see a manufacturer that advises to not use a cleat or chain stop on their windlass. Better type windlasses have a clutch which will drag if subjected to too much pull which would cause the boat to drag at anchor in a good blow. If the model has no clutch, you will damage your...
