Dave:

I guess that you know by now that our Lake is a zero discharge body. No black water, no grey water, no nothing! So what do you do?

I had the same problem with the old Misty (built in 78). For about fifty bucks I got a small holding tank from Boat/US and installed it under my sink. The tank has a vent which I directed (tygon tube) to the original overboard thru-hull fitting so that the sink drains well and the Lake can't leak in through the hole in the hull. The tank has a drain fitting that I put a valve on and when necessary drain to a buckett and dump into the head on shore.

It is a cheap, fun project (Heck it's on your boat!) and when you are done not only will you be legal (That's for you Skip!) but you will feel good about protecting our Lake. Have a ball!
