On-shore pump-out in Newburyport area? - The Hull Truth

CindyLou · 10-22-2009, 08:45 AM

Does anyone know of an on-shore pump-out station in the Newburyport area? I pulled my boat already and realized I didn't empty my holding tank. So, I need a pump-out station that I can pull my trailer up to. Thoughts?

You could always just put a bucket under the discharge hole and pump it in to the bucket and flush it down your home toilet.

Sounds like a Maine thing.....There must be some place you can trailer it to

Yeah, I'm not down with the bucket idea and I don't have a discharge hole that it would drain from anyway. It needs to be pumped out (i.e. gravity won't do it). Somebody told me the Merrimac Wastewater facility could help, but I haven't been able to get in touch with anyone there. If anyone knows of a place, please let me know. Thanks

There is a shore side pump out station at the Cashman Park ramp. I would call the Newburyport Harbormaster, Ralph Steele, and ask for assistance. The number is (978) 462-3746.

If that is closed, you could just dunk your boat at Cashman and have the pump out boat meet you there.

The pump-out boat is closed for the season, but the shore side/dock pump at Cashman is open until Nov. 1. I just found an on-shore pump at Riverfront Marine in Newbury though, so I'm going to trailer over there tomorrow and pump-out.

Thanks all

At least we are smart enough to pump the holding tanks before we pull the boat out....

Right, I'm sure you've never made a mistake.

Anyway, I won't forget next year.
