Eeeeeuw! Above waterline discharge of black water? Reminds me of old train cars and the notice over the toilet saying, "Please do not flush while train is in station."

My macerate discharges about 6 inch s above the WL. I rarely get to use it except when heading North. It is nice in that you can see when your tank is completely empty.

Btw, even though it is above the WL there is a Seacock on the outlet.
