-Take pants and underwear off.
-Squat by bending at the knees, preferably over the big hole on top of the said toilet.
-Think of gas prices.
That should put you on the right track...
I could trouble you with other steps like wiping and getting your pants back on but I did not want to confuse you with other complicated steps.
I hope it works out for you. Glad to help a fellow Cigarette owner

What you ignore is that We are a bunch of Champlain guys who already planed the same activity in your cabin and engine compartment Stecz.... More weight = less MPH... Simple math...
Never know, it may bring you some luck and..... odors...

Re: How do you work the toilet?
Not to alarm you but I think you need to have any form of overboard discharge disabled. There are some very strict enviromental rules on the subject to include capping or and/or disabling any form of overboard discharge.
Think the USCG can write a big ticket for this.

Federal law says that untreated sewage (even if it's been dosed with a deodorant product) can NOT be discharged in inland or coastal waters. This means the sewage from a portable toilet or a Type III holding tank can not be discharged unless you are in the ocean more than 3 miles offshore.
Federal law also states that if you have a holding tank with a "Y" valve allowing direct overboard discharge of untreated waste, it must be secured in the closed position while operating in all inland and coastal waters. Using a non-releasable wire tie, padlock, or removing the valve handle is considered adequate securing of the device. Click here to get more details and an illustration of a Y-Valve. (This goes to a new panel with the “Why a “Y” Valve?” page from CVA template notebook.)
Operating in a federally designated “No Discharge Area” further restricts what sewage you can discharge overboard. In these areas, there is no treated sewage discharge allowed from boats. That means if you have a Type I or II MSD, you are not allowed to discharge it while in those waters. There is a trend towards more local waters being designated as No Discharge Areas, so if you rely on using your Type I or II MSD, check a cruising guide before venturing into new waters.
