SEAS Catalina 30 Operating Guidelines
As mentioned above, the holding tank needs to be pumped out when it's getting full.
There is 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
NYNJ
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.
