Welcome. It would be good to know. I thought that you could not pump out anything in Canada. I am planing to cruise some of the Canadian cannals in 2 or3 years.
I am planing on putting in a Sealand 700 series with a 9.5 gal tank under the seat.

If you arnt allowed to pumpout in Canada....what does everyone with boats do? Most people dont just go out for the day and take their potty home with them do they?

I think it was meant as "not allowed to pump overboard"
We have pump-out service at most marinas in Ontario. Nil hassle, Nil worries. My family of 4 use it often when out, even just for the day, all girls you know. I have the 5 gal PPT and it works great for us. Did the Trent trip, lasted the whole trip and had it pumped out when we got back to the home marina for free as our slip cost includes that service. Just pull up, get off, tell the friendly staff you want a pump-out and gas up.
Cheers

I have the 5 gallon (
) PP and also put in a Jasco macerator - I can convert from storage mode to macerator mode by moving the hose on the back of the unit in about one minute. 3 miles offshore when Cape Cruising I can macerate and dump, otherwise I hold and pumpout or dumpout at home. Training the kids to use facilities on shore whenever possible really helps the load of course..I have made it 5 days with 4 up cruising without dumping with help from shore facilities. Save the PP for night time use on the hook when you dont have an option.

In Pacific Northwest Canadian waters you can pump overboard everywhere except a few off limit harbors. You don't have to be 3 miles off shore as in the US. I don't know if this is true on the east coast and I would suspect it is not true on any freshwater lakes.

No dumping out on the Greats of course. Kindaof a wierd reg since every city dumps raw sewage into the lakes on every substantial rainfall..but ....whatever.......
