It must be very difficult to pump out a boat in a slip. A pump-out boat cannot come alongside. A dock cart with engine driven pump, tank, and hose long enough to reach the deck fitting from the main dock might be heavy, maybe requiring self propulsion. Does anyone know a marina that does that?
All I have ever heard of pumping out marina boats was by permanent hose to each boat and having them get underway to go to a pump-out station. It looks to me that a pump-out boat servicing anchored vessels would be easier than servicing boats tied in an ordinary slip. If the boats are tied up alongside a long pier then a pump-out boat could come alongside and pump out easily, but perpendicular slips would be a real challenge.
