Yes.. Electric is much better than cable operated,
There is an electric black tank dump valve on our previous RV a 95 Safari DP, it worked perfect for many years, eventually it leaked a little and there should be dirty water when i removed the cap, I added an external manual valve at the dump hose connection point
After a few more dumps and flushes, no more leak,
Apparently Some thing had clogged in the gate path, causing an imperfect seal, i left the external valve in place, and used both, the electric never did leak again
