I think FF's concern was running bacteria killing chemicals through your marine head killing the bacteria in the septic tank, which is perfectly reasonable. However, any septic system that is sized to function as a septic system with anerobic and aerobic decomposition of organics (which takes weeks) for a few hundred people is completely impractical, so any such septic system in a marina would depend on those pumpouts, since it is very unlikely the system would be functioning normally anyway. Bottom line, the chemicals in your john wouldn't have much impact since the system wouldn't function as a septic system in the first place.
