I wish he had taken some better pictures of the tank and routing...I'm hoping
Ronco can put some kind of tank together for me. Holland Marine products sells
a tanks he says is OEM for C&C and many Canadian sailboats. He wants $429 for
it and I think it holds 16 galons http://www.hollandmarine.com/ If you go the
bottom and click on the link for C&C, Viking 33, as well as many other boats,
you'll see the tank. Danny

Check this out> Skip did exactly the holding tank installation you're talking
about on his C&C 40. The pump out is on deck and when he's offshore it drains
straight out without a macerator pump.

Pump-out fittings are a friction fit with the deck outlet. They scare the hell
out of me.
The last one I used, the previous user had turned the open/close lever at the
business end to close before turning the pump off. This left the hose full of
waste up to the shutoff. When I cracked the valve to pump out our tank, there
was some seriously explosive decompression and somebody else's stuff flew
everywhere. I'm glad I don't have to use pumpouts very often, overboard
discharge is still legal most places in Canada; I still make sure it's deep,
fast-flowing water far from land.

guys,�I'm planning a new waste system. �I'm going with the

the design. �i.e. �Where to install the tank and how to pipe it.
�I've been reading and I was thinking to try and install about a 16-18
gallon tank, that conforms to the hull, behind the head. �However, after
a closer look on Saturday, I'm not sure there is enough room there. �I
was kind of hoping to install it there in order to pipe up a gravity drain for
when I'm in an area where that is possible. �This would also keep the
hose runs very short and I could easily vent and pipe the pump-out fitting in
the side deck above.�Of course that would have the need of piping up
hill to get into the tank and make it a bit harder to clear the waste from the
hose with every flush. �Then I heard it might be better to have the
waste run downhill to the tank. �That would create the need of pumping
overboard if I were in an area that allowed it and the need of another pump.
��I'm not exactly sure how the pump-out system works when having
it done at a pump-out station. �Is it a fitting that attaches to the
deck fitting and sucks it up the hose or, do they run a smaller hose down into
the tank and suck it directly out with their hose?�Anyway, �As
always, any and all advice, insights and colorful comments are
appreciated!�DannyLolita1973 Viking 33Westport Point,
