What you should have done was either add the vent and pumpout fittings to your potty or replace the portable potty with an MSD version that has pumpout and vent fittings, then and put a y-valve in the pumpout line and run a line from it to the macerator pump. Or--assuming you still own the boat--you COULD add the y-valve now and run a line from it to a deck pumpout fitting that you'll prob'ly have to install.

Thanks Peggy. As I said this was years age probably not to far after just pump i it overboard. I thought it may give the OP an idea. With your input of a Y valve and a deck fitting for pump out it might be legal. I for the life of me can't see how a Y valve and a tiewrap insures someone hasn't discharged inside of 3 miles? Three miles is small distance to sail. PS add a vent or step on the peddle when discharging.
