Take a wet cloth and wrap it around the hose opening, and use that to "seal" the deal.

We....many moons ago...once got off the lake about midnight and the marina was closed so no pumpout....i didnt want to have all the "stuff" sitting for a week before i got back in the water so we stopped off at a local gas station....vaccumed out the whole boat and threw out the garbage then proceeded to use the vac to "empty the tank" I can only imaging the guys face that had to come clean it out the next time!

I don't think the RV pump in the earlier posts will work. RV's use gravity, in a boat you have to suck it out, I use a shop Vac. I put water and some soap back in then suck out again. Doug

Waste removal

Fortunally I'm in the septic tank business. I just hook up a 2" hose to the truck, being careful not to create to much vacuum, have a plastic 15 gal tank, fill it w/water and apply suction, and keep water hose running to pump it clean.......HIGH LIFE
