Okay guys, I'm planning a new waste system. I'm going with the Raritan PHC
head and a new holding tank. I currently have a very old Jabsco head and a
bladder holding tank. I really don't like the bladder. It has worked okay
but, one day it will fail and it will be disgusting! I just want rid of it...
I'm looking for ideas on the design. i.e. Where to install the tank and how
to pipe it. I've been reading and I was thinking to try and install about a
16-18 gallon tank, that conforms to the hull, behind the head. However, after
a closer look on Saturday, I'm not sure there is enough room there. I was kind
of hoping to install it there in order to pipe up a gravity drain for when I'm
in an area where that is possible. This would also keep the hose runs very
short and I could easily vent and pipe the pump-out fitting in the side deck
above. Of course that would have the need of piping up hill to get into the
tank and make it a bit harder to clear the waste from the hose with every
flush. Then I heard it might be better to have the waste run downhill to the
tank. That would create the need of pumping overboard if I were in an area
that allowed it and the need of another pump. I'm not exactly sure how the
pump-out system works when having it done at a pump-out station. Is it a
fitting that attaches to the deck fitting and sucks it up the hose or, do they
run a smaller hose down into the tank and suck it directly out with their hose?
Anyway, As always, any and all advice, insights and colorful comments are
appreciated! DannyLolita1973 Viking 33Westport Point, MA
