32-200 tanks and hose routing

I have a 1990 32-200. It has a water tank under the port settee a second water tank under under a wood floor panel in the lazarette, a black water tank and water heater also in that same lazarette.

Question: does anyone have the routing diagram for the hoses? There is an unconnected large sewage hose in the lazarette which I think is connected to a manual pump in the head for pumping out the tank. The blackwater tank is then only connected to the actual head and to the pump out. I am thinking there is a missing y fitting or maybe the black water tank was replaced with a different tank that has fewer connection points.

I don’t think the tank has been used for a long time. The previous owner had the boat in a yacht club where he had a continent bathroom close by.

Where are you located (or doing your boating)? Your site bio sez you reside in : L3ilanif. (??)
Some members boat in the Great Lakes where the head is Required to be plumbed only to a holding tank for shore pump out. Many others of us boat in coastal waters where a Y valve is legal.
I suspect that the manual pump you notice in the head is part of the "full Monte" Ericson factory original plumbing plan where you could pump out the HT yourself when in legal waters. Or discharge directly overboard. Or... used the suction hose from a marina deck plate HT pump out.
Can you elaborate a bit further? Thanks.

Thanks, I fixed my location. I’m in the San Diego bay. I’m not sure where that came from. Certainly a typo,

I do have a y valve. From what I can see it looks like I could directly discharge the head using the y valve. I think the manual pump is supposed to be always connected to the holding tank but I may be misunderstanding the pumps pumps flow direction. I’m assuming it’s for pumping out and not pumping water in. That’s the line that disconnected. Regarding the second water tank. Is that plumbed to the primary tank in the settee?
