HELP!! Old 77' Bayliner Nisqually, Need crapper help!

[KCKracker]

we just got our first cabin cruiser, 76' Nisqually 22' and we found the faucet works, cool. and toilet works too, but no water coming out when i pump the pump unless i fill the bowl, then pumps outside the boat. but where does the water come from? cant find a tank or a fill point..

does it just use water from the lake? I'm lost, we have crawled over this every inch, no fill point

ya know KC I hate being a "turd in the punch bowl" but it is illegal to pump black water overboard unless you are past 3 mile out to sea.and never in fresh water.
there has to be a fresh water tank somewheres down there. See if you can find a fill cap that says "water" and go from there. There should also be a cap that says "waste" to pump out too.
Good luck!

i never said i pumped anything much less black water, into the sea, i said i cannot find out how to fill the tank, or if there even is a fill i also said we looked over every inch of the boat for any kind of fill, so i think id notice a cap that said "water" on it

Excuse me, but you said the toilet pumps outside the boat. 26aftcabin told you that you aren't allowed to do that. You aren't.

It might be a raw water system that takes in water via a thru-hull. What I don't understand is, if the faucet works, that water has to be coming from a fresh water tank somewhere in the boat. Who would plumb a faucet to bring raw water into a sink? Makes no sense...

^^^do you have a fuel/gas fill? I'm sure you do.

We are trying to help you out KC- no one is accusing anybody of anything

You should see a water tank in the engine compartment.
maybe you can fill water from there.

one more bit of info that may be helpful is NOT to put Toilet Paper in the bowl- have a trash bag or trash can handy to deposit the paper in
and avoid " taking the Browns to the SuperBowl" on the boat if at all possible

good luck!

first cabin cruiser, 76' Nisqually 22'

I don't think that size of boat falls under the Cabin Cruisers category ... maybe a Cuddy Cabin.


Congrats on the toy.

Mine was under the driver seat. The mount for the seat was actually mounted to a lid that picks up and the apartment was for the tank ( 2860 cruisers rogue)

You're either going to have one or two setups. First one, you only have a holding tank and a dockside pump-out. Second one, you'll have dockside pump out with a Y-valve that allows you to pump overboard where legal.

That being said, most toilets are raw water fed, with the pick-up being in the hull bottom, oft times under a hatch in the mid berth. It will have a shut-off valve on it. The only heads that are standard fresh water fed are Vacu-flush systems, which I doubt you have. You really need to stick your head in every place you can to find that pick-up and holding tank. Both items could cause you major problems should one fail, especially the pick-up, that could sink your boat...

Wait a minute, just saw the size of your boat. Sure you just don't have a porta-potti?

I was thinking that too.

My Reinell 21' cruiser had a pump out head, so its possible that he does too. I replaced it with a porta potti, and if i were you KC, I'd get rid of yours too. Porta pottis are easier to take care of!

yes its lake fill indeed. open the valve and it fills from the bung on the bottom of the boat, up a hose the the tank. original design. then you pump it. the darn comode leaks i found on todays maiden voyage so out its goin, in comes a porti potti thanks guys!
