Given long time federal laws, very few boats, if any, are dumping toilet water in the lake. But a few still dump sink or shower water. The DES people inspect boats in marinas, I see them walking the docks with their laptop, checking hull numbers. Trailer boats can be missed, they only have a few people doing this and they can't be at every launch.

Are you not allowed to have a sink drain overboard? My bowrider has a sink in the cockpit that just drains directly out the side. I tihnk that is pretty typical. Is that illegal?
