When I purchased my 35 MKii a few years ago the head smelled really bad. No amount of deodorizer helped. I removed the toilet, drained the tank and used a bucket for awhile. Helped somewhat. I tried to get it out through the hole it was mounted in but over the years the bag was too stiff.
To remove the exterior wall you have to remove the sink cabinet. There are plugged screws holding the front of the sink cabinet to the interior wall between the galley and the v-birth. Drill out the plugs and remove the screws. Drill out the plugs in the decorative strip on the front of the sink counter. Remove the screws from underneath the counter and remove the counter top. Remove the screws holding the cabinet front to the exterior wall. Now your stuck. The exterior wall is screwed from the backside and the shelf won't come out of the existing opening. It had to have all gone in before the deck went on. Removed the screws from the bottom of the wall that screw into the fiberglass toilet/floor base. Cut the flange on the floor enough so that the bottom of the wall can be pulled out. Pry it away at the bottom and get your fingers behind the wall. Pull like hell. The screws will give way and pull out of the back of the wall. They are only about 3/8 into the wall as it is only 1/2 inch thick. There are only a few of them like, 2 or 3 on each side. Remove the shelf and tank. Rebuild as desired. I cut another slot in the wall and put in a second shelf. I built a tank in the v-berth and plumbed it along the hull and up to the existing deck fittings and down to the head. Made a slot in the exterior wall for the hose to exit to the head. Added a through hull to get fresh water to the toilet. Old tank was is a recirculating tank. I put a new laminate on the counter top and refinished all the panels with urathane. Put a new single lever tap on the counter top and reused the stainless steel sink. Looks great and does not smell. Unless of course the breeze is right(wrong). The breather is right outside the bathroom window in the hill near the rail. You might want to move that somewhere else. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Bill Hoyne <ho...@telus.net> To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: Greg Swetka <swe...@att.net> Bcc: Date: Sun, 9 Jul 2017 08:57:32 -0500 Subject: Re: Stus-List black water tanks on C&C 35mkII Hi Greg, Thanks for the info. I was wondering how to dismantle the cabinetry. What do you have to do and where are the screws? Do you have to take the sink area apart and then the back panel? How is that back pannel connected to the side bulkheads? It sure looks like a major job and a PITA. How did you route the new hoses from the forepeak to the thru-hulls? Cheers, Bill
