Replace Holding Tank?

Thanks all for your suggestions. Here in Georgian Bay Bay it’s getting friggin' cold and windy (yep, call me a wimp!) so decided to go with the marina putting on the shrink wrap and figure out how to best use the winter cover, earlier, next fall.
Now…to cover my sailboat…

Typical/average covers don't tent high enough, anyways - they're meant for rain, not snow load. Meaning, you'd have to go out and remove the snow if you got a decent amount. A good shrink wrap means that it's high enough to where it doesn't build up to much and the snow just slides off when the sun comes out.

They can make a cover any way you want them. Shrink wrap is slippery as eel shit on an iceberg, so it doesn't have to be as tall a frame compared to a fabric/vinyl cover. Up here those covers cost about 4 year's shrink wrap to buy and last about 10 years if you store them well. The problem is that you need to store your framing and the cover in the summer, which is fine if you have the space. And on a big boat, they are a two or three man job to put on. Convenience has its price and that price is about CAD$1200/yr for my 330 to have someone shrink it and remove it in spring.
