I've gone ahead and uploaded the drawing of the new holding tank. Any advice on how to make this as fool proof as possible would be much appreciated: http://webspace.ocad.ca/~splavsa/pics/SeaSwan/2-6146.pdf
Would it be best to have the fittings ON TOP of the tank? Not sure if I have the clearance under the v-berth but it seems that would be best no? I'm also concerned about effluent getting into the vent hoses. This is likely the stock tank from the 32 but I wouldn't know because the tank I removed was an "upgraded" stainless steel one. It was plumbed in with hard abs plumbing, leaking and no doubt soon to develop pinholes. It got tossed right quick.
