We do the same in the BVI (No paper in the tank). I suggest a small bottle of lysol or air freshener - helps to disinfect the basket and keep everything smelling like roses - I emptied the basket daily. At home, we used to put paper in the tank then had a situation where the float got stuck (even with marine paper) and level in the tank didn't register so now all paper goes into a bag. Really not a problem.

Where are you in MA? We boat out of Warwick RI (northern Narragansett Bay).
