My 35 MKII has the same holding tank that Alex described and I believe it might have been there from build. It would be difficult to remove without dismantling the teak bulkhead to port of the sink. The top of the tank and the fill and pump out lines however are clearly visible inside of the sliding doors above the head. I installed a new "y" valve, vented loop and sanitary hoses a few years back as part of my electric marine toilet installation. I believe that the old sanitary hoses were responsible for any bad odours and they were more than have blocked by solid deposits when I removed them. That holding tank is very small in my opinion but it satisfies the legal requirement to have one on the boat even though it is seldom used.overboard discharge is still the way most boaters go around here but things are changing and I expect that soon we may all be required by law to use holding tanks so the 25 gallon unit and the way you have installed under the v-berth interests me.

Perhaps that was an option or the first owner did it. The idea of some sort of forced ventilation is a good idea. I'm not sure I like the idea of going through the deck, however. There was a great article in Practical Sailor within the last 6 months on this subject. I'd recommend you read that, it's very informative. I will try to find the article.

As I understand it, and as evidenced by my forensics when I began rebuilding the thing, the original 35-II had a small tank port side between the cabin liner and the hull. In mine there is an original through hull up there. The Waste deck fill to pump out was originally labeled "WATER". One of the previous owners installed a polyethylene tank in the vee berth and had the pump out attached via hose to the bow deck fill. We never had the sloshing problem Gary had, because the P.O. replaced the toilet with a new Jabsco with the requisite Y fitting in case we ever sailed the ocean blue. Our initial problem was poor construction of the polyethylene tank where there was a bit more than a pinhole at the top which vented out foul air. After all my reading over the years I have been re-building, I pulled the tank out and had an additional vent fitting installed in the top which I was going to vent directly outside and have a fan suck that air out, forcing fresh air in to increase the balance of aerobic bacteria. I have not yet decided where to pierce the deck for this additional fitting. Another option I have contemplated is a composting toilet, but haven't heard from real users, just the claims of manufacturers. So, there you go, any advice would be appreciated.
