Pump out

[Pattie Cunningham]

I have a 2002 Beneteau 331; I'm having a problem with my holding tank not pumping out, all thru hauls are in the right spot, suction seems to be there, but nothing is coming out. Is there anything I can put down the thru haul on deck that might clear a clog, or does it have to be completely taken apart??? All suggestions would be appreciated

It sounds like you may have a clogged vent. Beneteau has a metal screen inside the vent. you need to reach inside the van from the outside of the boat with a dental pic or a screwdriver that stent or a coathanger and tear the screen

I had the same problem with not being able to empty my holding tank on a Beneteau 373,  I tried everything and thenI finally was able to clear the vent by disconnecting the vent line from the holding tank and attaching a garden hose to the vent line  and it blew out.  Problem solved.

Be sure the vent is open. Fluid can't get out if air cannot get in.

Here is the copy from the manual 

 here is how I have mine on the boat I appears to be right. I tried putting the hanger wire down the thruhull on the deck, but it's deeper than the hanger.  Also I put some white. Vinegar down the deck hole. I'm thinking maybe I need to be present when the Pumpout boat comes to move the valve back and forth

 my iPhone

Where is the vent located??

Pattie,

 

The vent is a tube that goes out of the top of your holding tank and then out through the side of the hull usually quite high on the hull.

 

One some,( and maybe all) Beneteaux there is a shut-off valve in this line. It must be open to allow free air movement into and out off the holding tank.

 

There is usually a clam shell cover where the ipe comes out of the hull and that may have a wire gauze screen in it. If it’s there take it out. It is a common cause of the vent becoming blocked.

FYI - when I replaced my tank I replaced the vent with a larger fitting (3/4" I think) without a gauze screen on it and added a second one on the other side of the boat for cross ventilation. Never had a blockage since

Terry Rushing, did you grow up on Shaw Drive???

[Steve Keever]

Does anything come out at all? Can you hear air being sucked through the vent? If the Y valve is in the wrong position, the tank could simply be empty.

you can always add water via the pump out fitting. Most pump out docks have a hose for this purpose.  Check the tank gauge or us a flashlight to look through the translucent wall of the tank, see if there is content in there. Then see if you can suck the water out.

If the vent is plugged and the put out is strong the tank will colaspe.

Been there done that. 

I saw the side of a boat delaminate with a built in tank a number of years ago
