Just to back up Mike.  I have used the "Lehman Pump Out" on several boats and it works as advertised.  It is simple to use, fast and there have been no problems using the macerator or pump out stations and "Honey Boats".  The normal venting allows plenty of air to enter the tank during pump outs with out need for additional valves or vacuum reliefs.  There are only two cautions I would make:
1.  Every fitting totally leak proof.
2.  Don't over fill the tank to the point where you get a stain on the hull.  It will dry inside the vent and is hard to clear.
