I ran the toilet discharge line directly to my bladder holding tanks upper fitting. This left just the vented loop and hoses outside of the hamper. It is a boat, afterall.

I plumbed my holding tank and changed a few things.
- On the advice of someone here (thanks), I omitted my Y valve.
  - Having trouble figuring out the picture Tom
    - That's the discharge hose from the head Larry.
      - I don't think you need the vented loop. The pump discharge could be routed more direct overboard.
        
        You're right but I think for safety purposes, the loop should be there.
        
        It would pass survey.
        
        I wonder if those tanks were below the waterline like my boat?
        
        I think so because it's a closed system
        
        I think they're required close to the siphon source.
  - One BIG problem...
    - Thanks Peggie. I'm sure you're right, but the tank was unvented by the PO
- if the seacock is closed there should be no stress to the pumps valves
  - I was thinking that too Rich, then I remembered the anti siphon vent.
