My original tank was made by Kracor. I just went through this exercise last season. The kracor tank for my boat is still available from Kracor but they wanted $700 plus shipping .. and shipping to Canada would have been over $100. Ok. Next option? I had removed the old stainless holding tank (some PO had replaced the original kracor with SS) because it was leaking when I got the boat. Gross. First job I did on the new boat. Gross. Anyway, plastic-mart, yup .. I found a 20 gallon holding tank that fit in the bow perfectly! Total broke down like this: Order Items --------------------------- Qty: 1 - 20 Gallon RV Waste Holding Tank - (S-H2020-B (bow)) Price Each: $200.99 Build a Tank - I will submit a technical drawing with fitting locations Qty: 1 - Holding Tank Pump-out Kit - (DT-30) Price Each: $47.99 --------------------------- 2 Items Subtotal: $248.98 Tax: $24.30 Shipping: $54.74 Total: $328.02 The $700 price for the kracor was just the tank, no fittings etc. I'm very happy with the plastic-mart tank and the service was excellent. I took measurements from several of the online tanks that I thought would fit and then mocked up the tanks with cardboard and then checked for fit on the boat. I'm glad I did this it worked out perfectly. Do consider mocking up a cardboard tank if you have ANY doubt about fit. Good luck, it's a dirty job.

Lol I have thought about the porta potty and then thought the composting toilet would have been a better idea. I'm still not completely convinced that it isn't. It is an easy install and for the amount of time we need it, it may well be a good solution. However, it grossed out the admiral. So, I'm on to this solution of a good holding tank design. T-Mobile.

Date: Mon, Oct 21, 2013 9:51 pm I'm mainly a daysailor who has so far avoided the poo issue. If I were to forgo my very comfortable bed and spend a night aboard Ox, I would first try to address the poo problem at the source - with bananas. Beyond that, I'd go Porta Potti and deal with it.

I'm going with the Raritan PHC head and a new holding tank. I currently have a very old Jabsco head and a bladder holding tank. I really don't like the bladder. It has worked okay but, one day it will fail and it will be disgusting! I just want rid of it... I'm looking for ideas on 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!
