• 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.
