You have a pickup on the transom which when pulling a lever drops below the the bottom of the boat and scoops up the water filling the tank, fit a breather infront of the drivers seat in the hull to enable you to see when the tank is full. then to empty the tank either have an electric pump or a drain valve which drains out the back.
