4. The owner of a pleasure craft must

(1)  connect the toilet to the holding tank in such manner that the holding tank receives the waste and the water from the toilet;

(2)  seal the holding tank; and

(3)  equip the pleasure craft with connecting piping having watertight couplings permitting the holding tank to be emptied only at a pump-out station.
