Newbie error

Hello all
I recently purchased my 1978 C30 and hauled it out for winter , I thought the PO had pumped the black water tank out before I bought it but to my dismay Ive discovered its full. My question is how to go about emptying this. The system has a macerator installed, is this what pumps it o/b?
Many Thanks
Peter

Oh man... is this ever a shi**y situation!

Uh-yep... But pumping with the macerator is going to leave you juggling a bucket or barrel under the thruhull.... I couldn't imagine how fun that would be...

I'd ask around at the yard... Can't be the first time this happened there... Worst case, I'd call one of the porta toilet guys and see if you can get them to come by...

***google the freezing point and properties***
