Hey - nobody has answered ther question about the small thru-hull! I'd like to know myself.
Yep, Marine Sanitation. My system is simple. The hose from the toilet goes to the holding tank. The holding tank discharge comes out - and loops UP to avoid liquid stading in the discharge hose after pump-out - and to a Y- valve. One side of the Y goes to the thru-hull pump-out on deck. The other side goes thru a macerator pump and exits via an underwater thru- hull WITH a valve. When I need to pump overboard (seldom) I change the Y-valve, open the seacock and start the macerator pump. Since you're re-doing your system, I advise putting an odor filter in the tank breathing line. They are available off-the-shelf.
