If you find out for sure, let me know
In Response To: Question about overboard discharge valve "secured" ()
I just replumbed with that exact same setup and theory. Everything goes to the holding tank, out of that is a Y valve that's to deck pump or to the macerator, the macerator is controlled by a key switch. Without the key there is no way to get anything overboard.

- I have a nylon tie wrap on the handle and have been checked twice...
- Heh. This whole business gives pause to wonder, if the key is in my pocket how is it better?
- I was inspected in Cape Cod Bay last fall.
- The only NDZ I have been to...
