We have already converted the aft head to a composting toilet and are preparing to convert the forward head to the same. Having purchased the boat just last December, we have not used the forward head (not working) nor have we pumped out the holding tank - which is unique in that it has a manual pump-out and there's no access to the tank from the deck - a really bad design, if you ask me.
Is it possible to pump out this tank by routing a pump out hose through the escape hatch to a fitting somewhere? Unfortunately, I've only had a brief look under the anchor locker where the manual pump mechanicals are located. Our primary concern, today, is to make sure that tank is as empty as possible, before beginning the conversion to a composting head.
Thanks for your help.
