Late again, but I have to build a DIY pump this season.. Thanks Marina for closing early.. Anyhow my cap was stuck real good last season. A light spray of WD-40 did the trick and now I apply it twice a season, no issues all year this time. Good spray to have below the wet bar sink either way.
Is that green water hose the same hose used to fill up the fresh water tanks? Is that your green water hose that you connected to the freash watewr outlet at the dock or does it belong to the marina?
The green hose at the pump out station is just for flushing out holding tanks. It is not for fresh water. Because they are put into the sewage outlet. The green hose is not ours but for the public. Thanks for your comment!
I have a Bayliner 2858 flybridge which seems similar to your Carver. That screw on cap for your tank can get stuck on. Not sure why but I specifically put it back on rather loose, yet after last summer not using our toilet much for a month I went to pump it out for the winter storage and could not get it off. Bent one tool and bought another with a long handle. Used Break Free on it too. Never had any problems with our freshwater cap or gas cap. Always seem to have issues with the Blackwater tank cap. BTW I have had luck flushing Baking Soda to keep any bad smell in check. Seems to work and its cheap. Non toxic too. Just had to laugh when I saw this video as it brought back memories.
Yes, what you didn't see was it took the 3rd idea/tool to finally get it off. We just pumped yesterday and since it was on loose, no problem. Baking soda is a great tip in the tank.Odor is definitely not our friend. Thanks for stopping by.
Rather late, but then again I didn't have to look at this subject until now. An old mechanics secret is use a light drop on anything that might seize like that. This is the real reason you run oil on an oil filter ring. In the case of your boat some Petroleum Jelly would be a better choice. Just rub a little on the threads and any seal. However silicone spray would definitely help a little.

@@sailorstu Thanks for the tip. Not sure why I hadn't thought of that.
