Hi
i am in the middle of installing a holding tank for my head. The output goes directly to the holding tank which then can be pumped out to the seacock when out to sea, or sucked out at a marina. It seems like a good idea to hold onto my waste rather than pumping it out wherever one does their business, on anchor...on a mooring etc. While a holding tank is not mandatory, it seems like a better way for those in the water around the boat, not swimming in their own effluent.
What do others think? Are the use of holding tanks a good idea for the environment, as it redistributes the waste over a larger area (if one pumps it out while sailing)??
