I suppose one could make the argument that you wouldn't be pumping in water for the head at the same time as you were pumping the holding out the through hull. Makes sense, I guess.

Your other suggestion is what I was trying to explain in my original post: take the fill line for the fresh tank and move it to the holding tank, and move the input for the fresh water to the fitting under the v-berth cusions.

New fittings all around and new lines should make this possible, I'd think.

How does a pump out work, anyway? I've never even seen it done. Does a line have to snake all the way into the holding tank to pump it out, or does a fitting just snug up to the deck fitting and pump it right out through the lines in the boat?
