Hello all, I have a 2001 SeaRay 290 Sundancer that I am trying to replace the holding tank filter on. I cannot seem to locate it. The holding tank itself is tucked forward of the engine compartment access; therefore, I am guessing there is a hidden access. Does anyone know where I find and how I access the filter? I cannot believe boat builder like SeaRay did not install one. Thank you in advance for your help.
Just FYI: don’t buy the $100 replacement filter recharge the one you have.
Buy activated charcoal (small) and fish tank filter material at the pet store and dump your old one out rinse and fill with the new charcoal plug the ends with the filter material DONE
We’ve been doing this for years and it’s perfect and costs around $4 per year to recharge.

If your tank is starboard forward in the er like mine it’s mounted on top the tank towards the outside of the hull. Can’t see it, all by feel. Don’t worry, if you are tall and thin the pain subsides quickly. Probably the worst maintenance job on our boats.

Thank you. I will need to poke around some more when back down on the boat this weekend.If you have one it should be right on top of the tank.

It's not hidden. It should be mounted right above the tank up against the floor or side of the boat. I bet you will have to contort your body to see it. I had to change mine by feel alone and let me tell you DO NOT allow the connection from the back side of the filter to slip from your hands once you have it disconnected .... it will spring back further then you can reach. I know from experience and it's not fun.
Thank you Little Ducky. I appreciate the cautionary words to save me the same headache. I will look again tho weekend.
When it slipped from my hand I had to use my phone to take a picture of where it went because my head and body would not fit in the space provided. If I can find that picture I will post it up so you can see what you are about to do.
My 290 is a 1998...on your 2001 do you have one big hatch or do you have 2 little hatches and one big hatch covering your engines? On the 98 there are 3 hatches with a metal "U" channel between each to capture the water and direct it out...... these "U" channels are difficult to work around at times.
BLRVT...let me know how you make out...and yes all by feel
Thank you. I will let folks know how it goes. May have to wait until after the 4th holiday.
