As mentioned above, the holding tank needs to be pumped out when it’s getting full.
There i
s no easy way to know how full it is, because there isn’t a gauge. There are
two ways to get a pumpout:
1. Go to a dock that has a pump out
. Unfortunately that’s not an easy option for us
– there are only two such docks nearby; the one in Perth Amboy, and the other
one is through two bridges in Cheesequake Creek
2. There is free pumpout boat (the
Head Mistress
) that can be scheduled and they
will come to our boat
– we don’t even need to be there. They operate on Sunday
plus one other weekday (unspecified which day). To schedule a pumpout:
o
Call 848 231 2202 and submit a request online at
When making the request remember that the Pumpout
Operator will identify the boat by the name on it. During 2021 season that
name is
Sea Drive
.
o
Put a tip (suggested $5) in an envelop, put that envelop in a ziploc bag,
and clip that ziploc bag to the lower life line near the Waste deck fitting
using a clothespin (stored in navigation station.)
o
When the tip bag is empty (and the tank pumped) stow the plastic bag and
clothespin in the navigation station.
NOTES:
1.
When at the dock do not leave the boat if an emergency condition exists.
Call
the
Maintenance Coordinator and the Reservations Coordinator. An email or text
without a corresponding reply does not constitute notification. You are there; you
are the first line of defense.
