Pump out holding tank beneath V birth

[tbodine88]

Ahoy Mates


I am the proud owner of a Nimble Artic 26.


Under the V birth is the black water holding tank. It is a

Vetus 50 Liter Flexible waste water tank for grey water and black water.


There is no deck fitting for pump out. I keep the boat at my house. I want to pump her out at my house.



Who supplies the best, easiest to use pumpout system for Do it your selfers?


I've seen the video on the Blackwater bazooka


Are there any others?


Thanks

Here is my tank for illustration

There’s no deck fitting?!

Where does the other big whiteish hose go? How do you get the waste out of this thing?

For home emptying I’d just get a diaphram pump and mount it on a piece of plywood and pump the waste into a sewer clean out.

one white hose comes from a deck filler opening for flushing water


the other comes from the toilet.


The previous owner tells me they didn't use the toilet much since they kept it on their dock and at low tide it was stopped up with mud. So according to them the black water has been in the tank for several years!

What is flushing water?

I believe that the white hose to the deck fitting is your pump out! Never heard of a hose for flushing water. You flush the system by pumping more water through your head.

I figured it out. After climbing over the masts inside the boat and looking carefully at the plumbing. This is what I think is the layout.
So I was wrong about the pump out port, The port on the tank is either a vent or inspection port. Pump out port is on the deck up forward. This is for my Nimble Artic 26.

That makes more sense.
