Need help in regards to emptying the holding tank (toilet waste) on my 1999 mustang. Anyone had experience?

Try here:

Its the seabreeze sailing forum, but they all own boats big enough to have holding/sullage compartments.

I'm guessing that your macerater pump is fecked. Change it out and pump it out..
If the pump is working, check that your outlet hasn't got a crusty shell on the outside which is blocking flow. Mine had a coral growth that blocked the outlet, scrape it off, then loosen the packed poo with a sharp stick and get the hell out of the water....

Keeping in mind there are regulations as to how and where you're allowed to dispose of said sewerage of course.

I have a 2004 Mustang (3200LE). If it is the same, I have a pump out switch in the cabinet in the bathroom. Mine is a 3-way switch, up for showing tank level, mid position is nothing and down is to pump out. Hold the switch down until the tank is empty.

My holding tank is in the engine compartment. If you follow that, there is a charcoal filter and a macerator pump. Follow these pipes to the outlet and back to the dunny. You might find a seacock, make sure this is open.

If you want to pump the sh!t out at a pump-out station then open the cap (it is the one labeled 'waste') and start pumping...

So you bought a $50000- $75000 boat (based on google results in Oz) and you can't empty the sh!tter? Not a tech problem, just don't know how....?

No dealer you bought it from?
The seller can't help you?
Not one bloke at the flash pen you need to keep it, can talk to you?
Never owned more than a dinghy before?


Man I wish I had $50K to blow on a hobby I have no idea about.
Don't go out to sea is my advice so far, and poo over the side like commoners do.

Yep, welcome to Seabreeze.

Mate are you the bloke I have spoken with on Messenger a few times (your boat is in Mindarie, and I have the yacht on B Jetty)
If so and you are back from site, I can come up and go over your boat with you.

Another spot for some info/help if your based in Mindarie. There's a FB page Mindarie Marina Pen Holders that could help possibly...

Hey Bachd if you have queries about boats pop over to the sailing forum.

They're very helpful and there's an unwritten code of conduct over there that puts this section to shame!
