make shift pump

[popo4fun]

Some of you guys have some great ideas so let see who has an idea for this. I have a toliet system on my boat and my marina does not have a pump out station. WE only want to use it for liquids...no pooping..lol. SO my idea is to make some type of make shift pump so i can pump the gray water into a container and take it to my local rv place on my way home. Any ideas on what to use? The boat is a 28 foot rinker 260vee, 1993 model. I was thinking maybe an areator(spelling?) pump used for fishing with a garden hose on both sides and just hook it up to a battery.

Re: make shift pump

just for information purpose it does have a place for it to be pumped out on the side so all I need is something to stick in there and suck it out.

Wouldn't that be Yellow Water?

not sure...lol I was just trying to get the point across that it wouldnt have solids or toliet paper in it so I wouldnt need a super strong pump. PLus it has some orange packets for odor control so might be orange water..lol

Don't use the toilet, just hang over the side.

You might consider putting baggy liners in the toilet just like this one:

Sure would save on figuring how to move it, and besides you could do the solids too.

Your idea will prob work, but rather than a livewell pump (not that big) I'd use a raw water washdown pump.

Or you could just use a portapotty and when finished take just the lower tank to the rv dump, no muss no fuss.

Yuck. I would definitely just remove the pump toilet, not hard to do, and install a self contained porta potti. Or, you could buy a Macerator pump which can be installed in the plumbing coming off your tank.

My boat has a built in macerator (legal only in certain areas). It works - will chop up poop and paper, but it is quite slow.
