Holding tank refit legality
Refitting a black water system on an older sailboat.

The current configuration is that the head can be pumped directly overboard or to the tank, and the tank can also be pumped overboard with a hand pump (as well as sucked out thru the deck fitting).

Is this type of arrangement still legal? Should I just abandon the hand pump and hoses and just seal off that thru hull?

Also, the Y valve looks newer, but has no way to lock it in the tank position. Is that legal?

Boat will be sailed in Puget Sound, WA.
