I think this would be in violation of RSA 487:3 ...shall be constructed...to discharge gray water.

Water or no water in the supply tank, it appears that your vessel (with no tank to hold gray water, just direct discharge) is in violation of the previously cited section.

I have also attached the link to the page in the NH on-line boater's guide giving a more detailed description of sewage and discharge requirements in both federal and state waters. Hope this helps....
