We are on Dale Hollow Lake which is a "No Discharge" lake and have removed our MSD type II system and installed new holding tanks. If anyone is on a lake that permits Type II MSDs this "used" unit is available.

It is a Type II MSD (The MSD) manufactured by Environmental Marine Inc. of Bronston, KY. The ID label identifies is as a model 1200 (12 person unit) manufactured in 2001, serial # 2048. The rough dimensions of the unit are 17" tall X 22" wide X *56" long. *The unit is made up of two tanks that when assembled make up the 56' length. (This "two" tank design is what made it easy for us to get it out of the hold on our boat. Our hatch size was 24" X 48", but it would have gone through a much smaller one.)

The unit is complete with the air compressor and clear plastic flexible hose (although you might want to replace it .... it is just a length of plastic tubing widely available), some of the treatment tablets for the last stage treatment tank, some of the recommended flushable dry packets of "microbes" recommended and packaged by the manufacturer (I know these are available in Jeffersonville, IN as I bought them there last year.) and the instruction manual.

You would need some PVC pipe and fittings all of which are available at your local hardware store.

The unit was in use and working fine to the day I shut it down and had it pumped so I could remove it. I have some pictures of it but can't figure out how to attach them to this email. If you send me your email address I can reply and attach them.

The company is still in business as I saw them at the Houseboat Expo show last weekend, 3/15/08, so I feel sure you could get advice on installation as well as any supplies that might be recommended for startup.

I believe the unit sells new for about $2000.00. I want $500.00. If you can meet me at Dale Hollow Lake to pick it up there are no other charges. If I have to package it for shipment that will be another $175.00 and all shipping charges are the responsiblility of the buyer.
