I did exactly that on a Krogen with a stainless holding tank. We found
out two things:
1. The sewage REALLY stinks because absent vents and air circulation,
the anaerobic bacteria do all the digesting.
2. #1 was discovered when someone had the floor hatch out and stepped on
the bladder, causing the fittings to pop off!

Maybe I'm not visualizing it correctly but if you can get the top of
the tank exposed, why not just cut the top out, clean up all sharp
edges and drop a flexible bladder into the tank?

Len Mitchell replaced the tank on his boat. He'll probably answer
up but if he doesn't his email is here.

As I recall he got everything apart but the final movement of the
tank was precluded by the cabinets. He had to make vertical cuts
between the cabinets.

Hi guys, I'm trying to work towards getting the boat ready for
a trip south starting summer 2020 and one of the big things on
my mind is the original aluminum holding tank, which I'm told
will eventually start leaking and get a new plastic one in
there, problem is getting it out, short story: friend with
same boat, he and the marine yard decided there was absolutely
no way it was coming out, cut the plastic vanity, replaced
with a nice teak strip to hide cut, looks great, $3500 and
that was 5 years ago. Without taking everything apart I'm
looking at it saying but it looks like it might fit. Question
to any owners: has anyone seen this done, can anyone say it
will absolutely fit with making cuts, before I start taking
things apart, I know it's been discussed on here before but
I'm hoping to find a definitive yes or no, thanx guys.
