Is there a winterization valve on the toilet system?

I have a 1981 F32. Just got it a week ago... We never did anything with the toilet besides start using it. Is there a valve someplace that is turned off for winterization? The boat was in storage for an extended period & put in the water the day I bought it. The holding tank appears to be full & we can't get it to dump. We were thinking may be under the v-bunks?

To pump mine over over board I have to open a thru hull ans turn on a macerating pump . to pump it out at the marine pump out I just remove the cap and pump it out with there hose .Yours could be different and over 30 years things could have been changed

Remember the only legal way is at the pump out or way off shore

I have a 1981 F-32 and changed the head to an electric Jabsco with a maserating pump. I also hooked it up to the fresh water pump. On yours see if the seacock is open--it is located under the forward starboard birth. What type of head do you have??

Just an FYI, the seacock should already be open if it was winterized properly. Never leave any seacock closed over the winter. Any water in a line hooked up to a seacock that makes its way back down will split it when it freezes.

I agree with the sea cock should have been opened---but I have learned over years never assume anything!!!

Seacock was closed. But the pump still isn't pumping.
