Aha. That makes sense. Back when these boats were built there weren't nearly as many pumpout sites as there are now, so having two options for on-land disposal would have been a good thing. The thought of pumping your holding tank contents up through the deck and through a hose to a bucket or portable tank isn't too appealing, but I get the idea.
I'll have to check my plumbing the next time I'm under the galley. My macerator is long gone but there's still a hose attached to the small fitting on that deck plate. I'll see if I can determine how it was plumbed originally. Regardless, that deck plate, and the 1-1/2" hose that connects to it, is gonna have to get replaced one of these days. It won't be a pleasant task.
