Can't Discharge Grey Water Overboard in my "Home" Lake

[Lazy Daze]

A couple random thoughts...

-- The head sink will be relatively easy. There's a carpeted panel under the head door that easily removes. Just feel "into" the carpet for the screw heads. That will give you access under the head floor to help run the line.

-- The cockpit sink is also easy. Same deal - feel into the carpeted panels to remove the false back wall. Only going from memory here, but you probably have to first remove the "box" that boxes out the underside of the sink.

-- The galley sink is going to be the harder one - at least to try and get it to the under-step sump box. You might be better served to put a sump box under the sink and then run the output hose to the bilge via the port-side wall (behind MDP and port-side of mid-cabin.... or maybe just decommission the galley sink.

Another thought. Skip going to the black water tank. Just plumb into a soft rubber tank, than you can remove to empty when needed. Maybe it will fit in the same spot the current pump is.

I'd hate to see them ban folks from peeing in the lake.

You know fish fornicate in those waters.

I need to add a grey water system in a ‘05 260 Sundancer.
My “Home” lake of Lake George, NY doesn’t allow direct discharge.
I would simply like to add a "T" w/a valve under the sinks and a new line to the sump box and pump everything into the black water tank.
Anyone have any info or thoughts?

I had the same problem, I bought a "99" 270 from Long Island. I had Neil Hubble do mine (518)3763690..., it isn't easy and not worth my time to tackle this...too many variables. Neil was the service manager at Dunhams Bay Sea Ray so he knows his way around. Back then it cost about 1K

Great info! I like a sump box under the sink idea.

What’s the fine?….. I’d find another lake

I respect the lake, it's beautiful.
I also own the dock and like it there. It will be worth the effort.

As much as I like the fact that this route is easily reversible I hate the fact that you lose that storage space, especially on a 240.

Letting soap water out in to the lake isn’t disrespecting the lake.

The only time I ever brought my Dancer to Lake George was during Covid when they weren’t allowed to climb into your boat to inspect it. We didn’t use any of the sinks at the time, or the shower. I guess they’re back to inspecting every boat before it launches?
