Thanks Kevin for the information, sounds like a better setup than what is on my boat now. I also agree that inland rivers and water ways are not for dumping. I'm not sure how often mine will be used, which is also a concern. Is there a possibility of them seizing up if they are not used for a season?

It very much seems like the right place for it since it is close to the Y valve and head discharge/tank discharge thru-hull. It is a waterproof switch because of the shower of course. I can definitely hear the macerator in the head as it is mounted in the cockpit locker on the other side of the bulkhead. Of course ours very rarely gets used as it is illegal to dump within 3 miles off the coast (in US and CAN.) I am pretty sure the Straits and inland rivers do not qualify as 3 miles offshore, but I could be mistaken.

I found out quickly that changing the pump is not on my list of fun things to do 😊. Would you recommend a momentary or SPST.

Last pump made all sorts of strange noises just before it defenestrated itself. I also carry a brand new pump because I have been burned before and it's not fun at the best of times.

It is momentary type too – avoids accidently leaving it running.

I believe this was installed by the previous owner. I would like some opinions on the best place to install the new switch. Is it common to have the CB on the distribution panel handle this operation or is it better to have a separate switch near the head. I'm thinking near the head, but I could be wrong. There is no shower so I think water will not be a concern. Thanks.
