Finally, a video that gets strait to the point and educates us. I can't express how grateful I am that you kept this short and sweet. Thank you so much!
I really appreciate that Joe, thanks. Boating and cruising is my passion and I'm happy to share our experiences and hopefully inspire others. Lots more to come, so I hope you'll subscribe 🙂 Cheers, Paul.
New intro! I like it. Even a shot with the new swim platform. Interesting tidbit, we have a grey water tank on AMFM and that gets pumped out at the same time as the black water. The pumpout locations are side by side. So I pump out black first and then fill with water while doing the grey. Repump the black and done. Here on Okanagan Lake, we do our own pumpouts for the most part.
Grey water tank on a Sea Ray? Must be a unique feature, as I've never come across that before. Don't think we'd be able to get by with having to use that, especially with our new 'full' shower on #Boogaboo. . . As for doing the pump-out, I'd prefer to do it myself, but most marinas don't allow it 🙄
I’ll take pics of the locations on the gunwale and gauge inside. Tank is bigger than the holding tank. It’s stock SeaRay put n for original owner. Yes, unique.
Awesome beginner video! As I said a couple of months ago I’ll keep you posted as to when our beginner boating channel comes out, it’s been a slow going progress. But I will be sure to mention your channel in our videos. Cheers and enjoy summer holidays!!
Glad you found it helpful. I'll be posting more like this one in the future. As for starting your own TH-cam channel, I'd say just start filming! There's no magic or special equipment needed - a decent (stabilized) phone camera would work if that's all you got. My best advice would be to move the camera slowly and don't try to get everything in on one shot! Slow and steady will produce the most enjoyable results. Now get out there and start filming 😁
Also like to add, I like to run water through the lines with a hose at the marina gas dock through the toilet just to push any debris through that might be stuck in the lines. Great video.
Same here, if there is a hose near by. If not have them close the valve on pump out line and flush the toilet 3 or 4 times. The have them open the valve again.
Welcome aboard! I hope you'll be able to watch my Epic Boat Cruise playlists for lots and lots of wonderful cruising videos from our area of the world.
Is there a vent you need to open before pump out to keep from collapsing the holding tank? I think I remember you talking about that happening to tanks before in one of your videos.
Our boat is not equipped with a purpose built vent that needs to be manually opened, however the Big Orange tank vent (th-cam.com/video/AD4b6hwLOwI/w-d-xo.html) dies have a built-in vent for that very purpose. I installed that vent system in our current #boat, as well as the previous #Boogaboo, as scene in this video. Works as advertised 👍
Looking forward to the series!! We just picked up our first cruiser, and did a first pump out when i filled it with gas. After we docked back at our berth we noticed the smell and found that the outlet hose became disconnected from the tank at the fitting itself. any ideas as to why the threaded fitting could get pulled out of the tank? Any insight and further info would be greatly appreciated. again, great series and as always looking forward to the next one! Cheers!!!!
Glad you liked this one! I'll be posting more in the series in the future. As for why your line pulled away from the fitting, I'd hazard a guess that there was no/loose hose clamps??? Sounds like someone might have replaced either that line or the fitting at some point and never finished their job - no pun intended 😉 Could be that the cap was lost at some point and they couldn't find a properly sized replacement, so had to replace the entire fitting. Been there, done that, so anything's possible...
Where we use our boat here in Australia, we have to use the pump out dock facilities ourselves. I always use disposable gloves. I noticed those attendants did not. - Yuk :)
If it were up to me, I'd much prefer doing that job myself to make sure it got done properly and thoroughly each time. It's only poopy water, and hands can be washed 😉 As for me, I have lots of experience working with poopy situations. As a thirty year general contractor, I've had my hands in all sorts of nasty places and lived to tell about it 💩 If you're interested, I produced a video from our new poop tank replacement that I did on our current #boat, last year (th-cam.com/video/sLLlqyPRZLI/w-d-xo.html). Did the same on our previous one and both turned out well. Like I said, it's easy to wash hands afterwards. Cheers, Paul.
Glad it helped! Be sure to check out my other videos on the channel, look at some of the playlists and feel free to ask any questions you might have about your Sundancer. Chances are that I have a video to help you out, as we are currently on Sea Ray number SIX 😁 Happy Boating!!
Great vid!! I’m looking at getting into boating and I would like to get a cruiser but it seems a little intimidating especially to park, what do u recommend to someone new getting into boating. Is there any lessons someone could take?
Yes, one can hire an experienced captain to show them basic #boat handling and docking. Of course, you'll need a boat for that first 😉 Then, it's practice, practice, practice.
I just bought a trailerable houseboat and it has a marine head with black water tank. I was scratching my head how that thing was emptied. still a little confused. I don't understand how it pulls the waste up without imploding the tank. I must be missing something or obviously I'm not understanding how that works without a hose going down into the tank.
Here's a playlist of repairs, maintenance and upgrades I've done to our Vacuflush systems on our last three boats - including replacing an imploded tank on the last one; Marine Head / Vacuflush DIY Repairs: th-cam.com/play/PLKhjT5kr2l2HFAop_WVZor37kcpy3gxhV.html Take a look at all of my 'How I Did It' projects in the playlist of the same name 🤓
Do you recommend a black water tank having an access hatch for cleaning? I have crud lining the walls of my blackwater tank that interferes with my external tank sensors reading the level of the tank.
Check the reply I just posted on your previous question. That said, I'd suggest that a good cleaning with proper chemicals should help with that. However, all the cleaners in the world aren't going to help if there's any solids on/close to a sensor (toilet paper in particular). I have read about folks putting laundry detergent cleaners, ice cubes or even water softeners in black water tanks to help clean them; www.forestriverforums.com/forums/f217/using-tide-to-clean-out-black-tank-7265.html Stay tuned to my channel, as I might be trying the detergent trick on Boogaboo this upcoming season. . .
Once you pump it out that is it? Wouldn't you want to fill with clean fresh water, a bit Calgon and Dawn. Boat around a bit then dump again to get residual stuff off the side wall of your tank? This is what I do to my RV black tank. I know boats are very different than RV's. So how would one do a deep clean of Black tank on a boat.
Came to look because we recently bought a Four Winns Vista 288 and I'm having a varying level of success with pumping out. I'm pretty sure it's the same process for ours, no valves to open etc but yet i cannot get the team to empty every time. Not sure how to start fault finding that system yet ie what should happen in what order etc.
I would check to see if you have an obstruction in the vent line. Many years ago, we had a 26' Sundancer which came equipped with a porta poddy setup. I soon replaced that with a proper flush Jabsco toilet and holding tank. When I replaced the factory installed vent line, I discovered it had a mud nest from a wasp/hornet in it, which was completely restricting the flow of air. Replaced it when installing the new setup. I would suggest you watch my 'new holding tank' videos from when I did that big project on both our current Boogaboo (the one depicted in this video), as well as our previous Boogaboo IV, a 400 Sedan Bridge. Both were huge projects, but well worth the extra holding tank capacity I was able to jamb into the respective bilges ;-) Both of those projects, as well as more from my seemingly endless toilet projects on our boats, can be found in this playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLKhjT5kr2l2HFAop_WVZor37kcpy3gxhV.html Happy pooping!
I think if you are going to publish an instructional video it should show step by step the process. I have had dock hands pump out my boat. I was looking for tips on doing it myself.
This was never meant to be a DIY video, just a head's up for those who are new to boating, or thinking about getting into boating. I'm sure if you search around, you might find someone who is producing DO IT YOURSELF content. Any of my boat projects that I share are labeled How **I ** Did It, not How Yo Do It. Too many internet experts to compete with already ;-) Happy Boating!!
My tank stinks. I am assuming this will take the smell out. I always assumed that the holding tank gets emptied on the water. Idk lol kinda a dumb question
Just curious about something, I have had maybe 6 different RV's over the years. From Vans, Travel Trailer, Motor-homes and now a large 5th wheel. On every one we have fought trying to keep tank sensors working on both black and gray tanks. Its like a never ending battle with flushing tanks and using tank sensor cleaners and sooner of later the sensors stop working. Then its more of a guessing game of when your tanks are full. Do you run into the same thing on boats? Or is it more a case of RV are made so cheap that they just have much poorer quality setups in them. I know lots of things are similar in the marine industry with the RV industry. But I have always wondered if things work a bit better on the boats. Or is it just more of the same.
Yes, those in-tank monitors always fail and are pretty much useless. Check out my video for a reliable monitoring system that doesn't go in a tank, has zero moving parts and is easy to install with pretty much any tank. Have it now on our current #boat, as well as on our previous one & works great 👍 Here's the link; th-cam.com/video/_GEjBXWdIL4/w-d-xo.html Cheers, Paul.
When the pump is pulling out waste, the hose will feel heavier. When it goes back to a lighter feeling, the tank is most likely empty or close to empty. Some marinas will have a short section of semi clear hose so one can monitor the waste flowing through. Sounds gross, but like the song says ' Everybody Poops ' 💩. And experienced dock staff will be able to judge when a tank is empty...
My boat is Equipped with a porta potty so I’ve never done a pump out. However, I was wondering, Do you need to add more water to the tank and/or chemicals? And if so, if your boat is in the water, we are do you do that
We don't add any extra water, only what goes down the drain when flushing. And we usually put in chemical tank additives after every pump out. And, not sure what your last sentence means . . .
BoatingWithBoogaboo sorry what I meant to say was if you are still on the water, where do you get water if you need to add more to the tank? I figured once the pump out occurred, more water would need to be added.
Hi I just purchased a 2004 Searay Sundancer 260, I need help with understanding the toilet system, do I need to open any valves? How do I know if the holding tank is full etc etc , which one is the holding tank?
Oh boy, sounds like you are starting from scratch 😉 Take a look at my main channel and look for my 'How I Did It' playlist to see lots and lots of videos talking about pretty much EVERYTHING to do with Vacuflush toilet systems, holding tanks, duck bill valves, pressure switches, what NOT to flush down the toilet (seriously) and more. So, hold your nose, 'cause it's gonna get stinky 💩😂
Most marinas charge a flat fee of around $20-30 per pump out. Some offer it for 'free' if one buys a certain amount of fuel. For us, our marina includes the service as part of the annual slip fees.
Although it's not normal, collapsed holding tanks aren't uncommon in certain boat models/years. I'd suggest that yours either has a clogged vent line, or it had been previously over pumped. Unfortunately, you're going to have to replace the tank - not a fun job. I've done it twice in the past (both Sea Ray boats from the late 1990's). Check out my toilet repairs playlist to see what was involved; Marine Head / Vacuflush DIY Repairs: th-cam.com/play/PLKhjT5kr2l2HFAop_WVZor37kcpy3gxhV.html
After pumping out the waste, I was told to put water in the tank to rinse it out and then pump out the water to clean it out better. Also....has anyone answered the question about opening a vent while pumping out, to keep the tank from collapsing?
Depending on the marina, anything from zero if it's part of seasonal fees, or could be included with fuel purchase. Otherwise, we've paid $20-$30 for a standalone pump-out.
@@BoatingWithBoogaboo I have a 24' Chaparral with a poop tank and there is a viscerator. New to bigger boats... I've heard I run the viscerator when I do a pump out. Correct?
No. Depending on what marina you visit, prices will vary considerably. Some will offer this as a complimentary service for folks who have a year long storage contract, otherwise figure on roughly $25-35 per pump-out. Sometimes it is a no extra fee if purchasing fuel at the same time, but that would be anywhere from $250 and up on the minimum fuel purchase to receive a 'free' pump-out.
Gee, you managed to squeeze a 1 minute video into almost 5 minutes and still did not show how the pump out hose is coupled to the deck discharge fitting, ( threaded fitting or tapered friction fit? ) Great work, just don’t quit your day job.

Is it advisable to do it before you winterize it?

And experienced dock staff will be able to judge when a tank is empty...
How do you know when holding tank is nearly full or full???
There is a gauge that lets one know when the tank is getting close to full.
Awesome help!! 👍.
Also I was told to put the end of the hose into the water and pump sea water through the hose to clean the hose out before returning the hose.
That is part of the marina staff's job, so I don't handle that.

Sorta. Different marinas have different ways of pumping the 💩, but they always get the job done.
what's the average pumping charge
Depending on the marina, anything from zero if it's part of seasonal fees, or could be included with fuel purchase. Otherwise, we've paid $20-$30 for a standalone pump-out.
I wonder if you can just turn the poop into fuel? On a boat.
Perhaps, but not on my boat ;-)
What about a boat with a viscerator?
Don't know what you mean??
@@BoatingWithBoogaboo I have a 24' Chaparral with a poop tank and there is a viscerator. New to bigger boats... I've heard I run the viscerator when I do a pump out. Correct?

'Poopy-peepee water?!' How old are you? Five? It's sewage!
I would have been six, but I skipped a year 😂
Does it need to be pump every trip or can it stay in there if say you only go boating once or twice a year?
Cool
Starts at 1:58
so basically you dont dump your poop on the ocean?
I've never boated on the ocean, but would NEVER dump our poop overboard.
