Marine Holding Tank Cleanout Using RV Gear | Budget Pump-Out DIY for Under $200!

Ever wonder how to pump out a marine holding tank yourself—without paying marina prices? In this video, I built a DIY pump-out system for under $200 using a macerator and RV black tank methods to clean out 15 years of waste from my boat’s holding tank. Yes, fifteen years 😳.

Using parts from Amazon and Tractor Supply, I walk through every fitting, hose, and connection you need to build your own boat waste pump-out rig. If you’re a liveaboard, DIY boater, or RV crossover, this one's for you.
