According to Nigel Calder's book you should have an anti-siphon loop on 
the output side of the head if you are connecting to an overboard 
discharge.  He suggests one that vents vertically through a hose.  The 
reason there is no such provision on most 320's is that most 320's do 
not have a Y valve for direct overboard discharge, I suspect.  Were 
these ever installed by the factory?  My boat has none.
