I thought you kept your blabber tank filled with helium - on the leeward
side of course, to offset heel. And when you are blabbing on the VHF it
gives your voice that special tone that the coastguard loves!

I don't have a problem with bladder tanks. I'd just go with a
simple replacement in the existing location.
I have a blabber tank on Touché. It's located outboard of the
head between the hull and liner.

Dennis,
Thanks! Do you think this is preferable to the current location
of the bladder tank?
There is actually a thru hull I was planning on getting rid of
under the starboard settee. It is a transducer of some ancient
equipment long abandoned. I guess, as a pro, I could run a hose
from the tank to that thru hull for possible dumping.
That way, I could have a wye valve for direct discharge or tank
flushing and then not need a wye valve for pumping/dumping. 2-
connections on the tank. I may even be able to pull off a
gravity drain as the tank will be a little higher than the
through-hull. I would have to have the outlet at the bottom of
the tank for that, and that does worry me some. I could always
mount a manual pump I guess...
The only biggest con I see is that the toilet will actually be
pumping uphill to the tank and will require more fresh water to
clear the hose all the way to the tank, filling the tank faster.
am I seeing things correctly?
Danny

Danny,
I just got on Touché and looked at the platform. Yup, it's part
of the interior pan.
Plan B - cut out the platform above the center storage. Use a
jigsaw or a multimax vibrating saw. Drop in the tank. Put the
cutout back by letting it rest on new wooden cleats under the
cut. Just like the access panel except screwed down.

No, it is one large piece tabbed to the hull. It has just

my boat has a "V-birth!" it gives life to it's (its)

Imagine what it could give birth to if I really do get the
holding tank there...

Danny,
Is the platform under the v-berth cushions screwed down? If
so, take it up, install the tank and replace it.

Well,
I went down to the boat on Saturday to get the frame up
for the cover. I looked around a bit more and realized
just how little room there is up in the V-birth.
It seems, in order to get a tank up there, I'm going to
be doing some cutting. There is a drawer and cubby on
each side where the removable piece comes out. I don't
really want to lose those and if I did take the one right
up against the bulkhead to the head, it is so small that
I would not only have to cut the bed platform for access,
I'd have to hack out the bulkhead below the platform to
get anywhere near and adequate sized tank.
So, that leaves the center storage area below the
V-birth. This would entail having to open the platform
in order drop a tank in there. The access hatch is way
too small to get a tank through. This also creates a
longer hose run from the toilet and back to the through hull.
I could put the tank back where the bladder is now.
Which is under the "L" shaped settee just aft of the
head. This is probably the most convenient location.
Which is why the bladder is there now.
I'm not really sure how Big a tank I can get in there but
I think that is where I'll end up putting it. I can't
really see any reason not to put it there really. Short
hose runs, close to the existing pump out. I was kind
of hoping to add some more water storage there.
Any ideas or insight, as always, will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Danny

Marek,
Check with Paynes in Burlington, they carry the hoses --
but are strictly a wholesaler -- they will have a local
retailer who can order for you -- in the
Burlington/Oakville area I use Dockside Marine -- I am
sure James would ship to you if you wantd.

Steve,
where did you source the replacement hoses (in Canada)?
From what I know you should use only the very specific
type (all others permeate the smell in 3-4 months)

I changed my hoses when it was cold out. Smell is less ..
impacting .. when
it's cold. But it's harder to get the hoses off. They'll
be hard to remove
in any case. If I was doing it over again I'de use one of
those multi-tools
to put a slit in the hose end and replace the fitting if
it got damaged.
Would save a lot of frustration.
Have those big heavy duty contractor grade garbage bags
on hand. They'll
contain anything....
