holding tank

Hey everyone, My fresh water tank has an off-smell to it and I'm wondering if there is something I can add to kill whatever might potentially be growing in there. It was fully cleaned out 2 years ago and I can see the tank from my engine compartment and there is no visible mold, mildew, etc. It...

Hi all Quick question , Im doing some work on my boat at home. I want to empty the holding tank. I have never done this manually. I have used the "pump out" at our local marina. My question is .......can I use the macerator to empty the tank? Very new to boating as you can tell by my earlier...

Hi, I have a 2006 52’ sedan bridge with a bad sending unit in the holding tank. The parts manual shows the part number as 1806042. I have been unable to find a replacement on line using this part number. Does anyone have an alternate part number or a link to a replacement. Thanks in advance...

Hello All, Here is my dilemma, I am currently winterizing a 97 Sea Ray 280 sun sport, my holding tank was filled inadvertently with fresh water to the point the pump wont work, (there is no solid waste in the tank), could I use a transfer pump and slip a hose with a cut end in there to get that...

The holding tank vent filter is in a near impossible place for me to access. I was wondering if anyone has relocated the filter and could share pictures/how you did it. Many thanks!

Hi all, I just bought a 2003 260DA with a vacuflush with holding tank. The vacuflush works fine and flushes directly out of the boat when you turn the key in the head to 'power'. The holding tank has been disconnected by one of the previous owners and I want to reconnect the holding tank. I can...

Hello & greetings. My wife & I recently purchased a 2005 Searay Sundancer 260. We just learned that the holding tank is half full from the previous owners. We have an empty tank underneath it trying to operate the system & empty it into the one underneath. . “Newbies”. I have both...

I have a 2001 260DA and my holding tank has a leak and I'm told it can't be repaired by marine mechanic. Has anyone had their tank removed? I'm told by the mechanic, that he has to remove the manifold to get tank out. Sea Ray said it's close, but can be removed without anything being in the...

After long last, I finally have an extended video from my biggest project to date aboard 'Boogaboo IV', that of putting in a replacement waste holding tank. Hold your breath as we dive into the engine room and follow along with step-by-step accounting of how I was able to fit an over sized...

As any of my northern dwelling boating brethren know, it was one HELL of a brutal winter!! Last weekend was only the second time I've been aboard our boat since last November (first time was the weekend before), but it sure feels great :-) Had to jump back aboard to get my final measurements for...

Hello - Just bought a 1986 270 Sundancer. Has an odd head that has macerator / overboard discharge feature but doesn't seem to have holding tank. Has plastic head / toilet that looks like a porta potty yet plumbed to boat. Want to replace toilet but mechanic not familiar with this setup...

Hello Just acquired a 1986 270 Sundancer. It has an odd toilet appearing to be a porta pottie that also allows overboard discharge via macerator but no holding tank. Anyone have experience converting to a holding tank system? Also, under the aft berth on starboard side is an area enclosed...
