Can anyone give me the USCG regulation or EPA regulation which allows Bayliner (Brunswick) to have either a key switch for a macerator which dumps overboard or 2 manual switches which do the same?

Kevin:
Thanks.
I also found the citation in a USCG/USPS Vessel Safety Examiner's manual p. 26 which states:
No Discharge Areas: Vessels shall not discharge ...... must be adequately secured while the vessel is in a no-discharge area to prevent any overboard discharge of treated un untreated sewage, such as:
1. Closing the seacock and padlocking...
2. Locking the door to the head...
3. A combination of switches that have to pressed simultaneously or
4. Switches that can only be turned on after inserting a key
Most Bayliners come with #3 or #4.

Kevin and Peggy thanks for explaining the H-N-T. I have used one for 6 years along with my existing 36 gallon holding tank. The treatment system I prefer is the PuraSan it draws less current than the LectraSan and many other models. I did one modification that was to get rid of the standard macerater pump and replace it with a SeaLand transfer pump. The SeaLand pump is more reliable and my head already macerates the waste when it enters my holding tank. I keep the key separated and out of the head compartment when in a NDZ. Then the unit acts like a typical holding tank.
I will be installing the same system in my Gulfstar.
