There is a sight glass on the pump out head hose which allows you to check whether waste is still 
being drawn out of your boat. As the hose draws the waste out faster than the rinse water goes in, 
you will eventually see through the glass that the liquid has ceased flowing. At this point you turn off 
the flow on the waste hose but leave the rinse water to flow into the holding tank for a few minutes. 
If you rock your boat gently at this stage you will swill the rinse water around the holding tank. Turn 
the flow on the waste hose back on and check the sight glass. If the liquid is clear the tank is 
clean(ish) and you have finished. If the liquid is still dark, repeat the rinse process several times. 

The whole process should take no longer than 10-20 minutes depending on the volume in the tank. 
You'll soon get used to it. Just remember to wash your hands when you've finished!
