- 40' Snowball gillnetter
I've had the typical hand pump type marine heads on houseboats over the years and have never really liked them. I'm now outfitting an old AK gillnetter and need to address the head.
What I'd like to do is to use the RV type straight dump head into the holding tank. From there I'd have the RV slide/dump valve with the outlet side necked down to feed into a macerator pump then to the underwater through hull.
To meet requirements for not dumping within 3 miles of shore, I could either have a through floor access to the slide valve with a lock or easier yet, get one of the locking mounts for the toggle switch that controls the macerator pump and just pad lock it in the "off" position when near shore.
Anyone see any problems with this? Would it pass CG inspection?
