My boat has had some of the head plumbing "re-worked" at some point in the past. Looking at the pumpout plumbing it goes from the holding tank to a "Y" connector then out to the deck fitting on one side and to a stub of a hose on the other side. This stub of hose is semi blocked off (stuffed with a rag). I have not been using the head due to lack of knowledge on how this plumbing works. Can I remove this "Y" connector and replace it with a hose barb to connect the tank to the pumpout? I am afraid that in it's current configuration, if I try to pump it out the stub of hose connected to the "Y" will allow the vacuum to leak and the tank will not pump out. I also assume that this stub of hose will see a source of odor if the head gets used. Any Idea why there might be a "Y" in this location (between the tank and the cleanout)?
Any insight into this would be appreciated.
