Would anyone know if the pump out nozzle from a waste pump out boat is common size in diameter, going into waste deck pump out , and also would you know what diameter it would be for nozzle to fit in
Thank you
 
For many recreational boats the waste pumpout is 1 1/2 inch (ID).
There may be other sizes and different adapters may be needed.
The pump out station system may have a push on fitting, that has a soft collar than jams into the pump out fitting on your boat, Those 'push on' fittings usually need to be held on the fitting to avoid the hose falling off.
The second type of fitting is threaded and screws into your deck fitting making holding the hose steady un necessary.
Both of the adapter styles have a mounting ring that is used to connect the fitting to the pump out station hose.

I also see that your boat is a Gulfstream. That model may have a portable head that has to be removed from the boat to empty

Can you determine the make and model of the toilet. A picture would help

Hi , thanks definitely like the way you explained it , much appreciated, happy holiday
 
When we did the Great Loop, most marina pump-outs had a collection of various sized threaded nozzles, as does my Safe Harbor home marina. As I recall, most attendants took one look at our boat and grabbed the correct size nozzle. And I would assume that the very knowledgeable Seasick is correct on his sizing, assuming you have a deck pump-out.

I believe it is very unlikely that you'll pull up to a full-service marina and they won't have the correct size nozzle.

Similar experience with every pump out place I have gone too.
