close the y valve
The purpose of a Y valve is simple one way discharges into the sea flick it the other way so the toilet discharges into a holding tank. Also if in a no discharge zone you could face a hefty fine if you are caught discharging into the water as this would only be permissible when a certain distance offshore this would be governed by local or national bylaws. So when in port put a padlock or seal on the valve to the sea discharge position and when out at sea make a note of your position in the log book before emptying the holding tank into the sea a good sailor would fit a macerator pump to the discharge side of the holding tank. If this is not suitable for your boat it is better to use a porta potti whilst in port.
Close the Y valve with a non-reusable seal to prevent the discharge of untreated waste from a Type I or Type II marine sanitation device MSD.
