Dennis, Thanks! Do you think this is preferable to the current location of the
bladder tank? There is actually a thru hull I was planning on getting rid of
under the starboard settee. It is a transducer of some ancient equipment long
abandoned. I guess, as a pro, I could run a hose from the tank to that thru
hull for possible dumping. That way, I could have a wye valve for direct
discharge or tank flushing and then not need a wye valve for pumping/dumping.
2- connections on the tank. I may even be able to pull off a gravity drain as
the tank will be a little higher than the through-hull. I would have to have
the outlet at the bottom of the tank for that, and that does worry me some. I
could always mount a manual pump I guess... The only biggest con I see is that
the toilet will actually be pumping uphill to the tank and will require more
fresh water to clear the hose all the way to the tank, filling the tank faster.
am I seeing things correctly? Danny

Danny, I just got on Touché and looked at the platform. Yup, it's part of the
interior pan. Plan B - cut out the platform above the center storage. Use a
jigsaw or a multimax vibrating saw. Drop in the tank. Put the cutout back by
letting it rest on new wooden cleats under the cut. Just like the access panel
except screwed down. Dennis C.

No, it is one large piece tabbed to the hull. It has just the one hatch for

tank there... Danny

Danny, Is the platform under the v-berth cushions screwed down? If so, take it
up, install the tank and replace it. Dennis C.

Well, I went down to the boat on Saturday to get the frame up for the cover. I
looked around a bit more and realized just how little room there is up in the
V-birth. It seems, in order to get a tank up there, I'm going to be doing some
cutting. There is a drawer and cubby on each side where the removable piece
comes out. I don't really want to lose those and if I did take the one right
up against the bulkhead to the head, it is so small that I would not only have
to cut the bed platform for access, I'd have to hack out the bulkhead below the
platform to get anywhere near and adequate sized tank. So, that leaves the
center storage area below the V-birth. This would entail having to open the
platform in order drop a tank in there. The access hatch is way too small to
get a tank through. This also creates a longer hose run from the toilet and
back to the through hull. I could put the tank back where the bladder is now.
Which is under the "L" shaped settee just aft of the head. This is probably
the most convenient location. Which is why the bladder is there now. I'm not
really sure how Big a tank I can get in there but I think that is where I'll
end up putting it. I can't really see any reason not to put it there really.
Short hose runs, close to the existing pump out. I was kind of hoping to add
some more water storage there. Any ideas or insight, as always, will be greatly
appreciated. Thanks,Danny

Marek,
Check with Paynes in Burlington, they carry the hoses – but are strictly
a wholesaler – they will have a local retailer who can order for you
– in the Burlington/Oakville area I use Dockside Marine – I am sure
James would ship to you if you wantd.

Steve,
where did you source the replacement hoses (in Canada)? From what I know you
should use only the very specific type (all others permeate the smell in 3-4
months)

I changed my hoses when it was cold out. Smell is less .. impacting .. when
it's cold. But it's harder to get the hoses off. They'll be hard to remove
in any case. If I was doing it over again I'de use one of those multi-tools
to put a slit in the hose end and replace the fitting if it got damaged.
Would save a lot of frustration.
Have those big heavy duty contractor grade garbage bags on hand. They'll
contain anything....
