Who can’t resist a bargain? As a mater of fact we can’t. At least my son, Glen, decided to check into a really stiff “Y” valve. You see, Canada is behind the curve when it comes to pump-out stations for the ship’s Head. This is our 10th day in Canada, and only one of the ten marinas have had a pump-out stations. With five adults aboard the black-water tank is good for two days, period. Well Glen found an orphaned three way valve at the Maple Bay Marina and bought it. We decided to install it this afternoon
I am sure some of you watched Robin Williams in RV. With the possible spectacle on the order of Robin’s I fitted the Canon camera out with a nice fast zoom lens, and signed aboard as Plumbers mate.
We carefully documented the existing installation, and marked all of the hoses with labels.
We traced each line from the sea-cock to the overboard discharge. We donned rubber gloves, I gave a thumbs up to Glen signaling that I was ready. The first hose clamp came off easily and we walked the hose back until it popped off and immediately we were pooped all over.
I say we, but I was actually out of the line of fire, and we only lost perhaps a cup of sewage. We spent the rest of the afternoon cleaning the bath/head room. And then we all took showers. The action is captured in the photo gallery.
