I want to be able to have a connection to the water at the dock instead of using the holding tank. Are there any diagrams or info on how to install?

Why don't you want to use the water tank? Just sick of filling it? I recently removed my boat's dockside water system, I was told that it was a good way to sink a boat; if you leave the hose on and spring a leak while you are away it would fill and sink the boat. You could avoid the problem by just closing the valve when you leave the boat unattended though.
About installing it, you will need a check valve between the dockside water and your tee, otherwise when you leave the dock and turn your pump on it will spew water out the dockside connection. My boat had another check valve after the pump that kept the dockside water from flowing back through the pump and over-filling the water tank.
