James Dunleavy Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 We are moored near Leeds Dock and desperately need a pump-out card as every marina and boatyard around here no longer sell them. CRT only offer to sell online, which they say can take up to two weeks. If anyone has one for sale please respond yesterday! Thanks, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are outlets for these at most manned facilities, eg tunnels, lock flights, service points. I have no knowledge of such around Leeds, have you asked C&RT on the emergency number 03030 404040?

James Dunleavy Posted August 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 CRT have said pretty much the same but we've not come across anywhere selling them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerbeerbeerbeerbeer Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 I was gonna suggest the CaRT office in Leeds but I see it ‘temporarily shut’. It’s unbelievable.

Someone’ll be in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Dog Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 After the third time the pump out machine at Kingswood Junction accepted my card but didn't go on to do the job, I stopped being a card carrying member. Take your boat to somewhere you can pay someone for a pump out you actually receive rather than take the risk at a CRT machine would be my advice.

beerbeerbeerbeerbeer Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 How about a pump to do it yourself? Hope the OP has a cassette for back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experience of phoning CRT (that's not the emergency number by the way) is that they don't actually know where the cards are sold - which is a bit of a concern! Because in theory, a bunch of retailers have a bunch of cards, yet CRT don't know where to go and collect the money from, if/when a card is sold. Its probably that their customer services simply don't have any useful information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its probably that their customer services simply don't have any useful information. The retailers have to buy the cards. so no risk to crt. Many years ago they didn't make a profit on the cards so no incentive to stock them. I don't know if this is still the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have said what the "it" was. The CRT Emergency Number is 0800 47 999 47. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
