Waste tank

Our marina has a suction device to empty the waste tank. However, when we attach their hose to the outlet on the boat nothing is coming out. We are priming the pump by sucking in some lake water and a vacuum is definitely being created at the outlet. The kid at the dock does not have much experience. It seems to me that a valve or something should be opened on the boat so as to replace the contents being removed with air.
Any help will be appreciated!

E_H,
I had a similar experience on our 342 the first time. A check in the engine room revealed that the valve that selects the direct outlet from the tank or the macerator pump was set wrong. Set it correctly and all was well after that.
