I changed the holding tank on my C&C 30 because the thing was leaking. It starts by removing the vanity, the sink. It's fairly easy, everything is screwed, not glued. I had to destroy the back panel because screws were not accessible. I made a pattern for the new one before destroying the old one. Once everything is removed, clean with aggressive stuff and paint. Nothing like a new paint to get rid of old odours. Now that it took some time to remove all of this, I did a thorough job, including replacing old gate valve and thru hulls. I constructed a new septic tank to use as much space as I could, ending with a 20 gallon tank instead of 12. The tank has an odd shape and was made with 1/4" plywood as a support for fiberglass inside and outside. I also added a semi transparent window, to see the level in there. There is also a pump that allow me to empty the tank out at sea, far away from coast. Finally, note there are two air intake, to ensure a good supply of oxygen in the tank, the recipe to no odours.
