That is it. Most if not all Top Guns were set up to use the tank and/or pump overboard. I am looking at a 1992 owners manual that shows this.

Yeah they really weren't built to be express cruisers. The new ones don't have one at all unless you specifically request one during construction. Mine has a portable one that has to be emptied manually. I have never let anyone use mine. It was never used on the 92 model had either. I'll get to a dock if someone needs to go that bad.

I had to replace the one in my 90 TG last winter because the bottom was all rotted out. Thank god it hadn't been used for a long time and there was no smell or mess at all. I called the company that had a tag on it and they must have gone out of business or moved. I had a new one fabricated again out of aluminum the same size for $125.00. None of the plastic ones that I found would work. I think the fresh water tank on the other side is the same size.
waterheater, Yes I think all marines have a vacuum system to empty it. I think they are all the same but mine has 2 buttons the top one will bring in the water through the hull and then flush to the holding tank. There are two valves under the bench seat on that side. The small hose is for that water and if you open the valve with the large hose and push both buttons at the same time it will flush the holding tank through a masserater pump and then out the bottom. I guess that is a no no unless you are so many miles off shore so don't get caught with it left open.
birdog I tried to call you tonight and see how you are doing but no answer. I didn't leave a message.
