Hello, This is my first posting to this list. I'm used to forums like on the
Moyer site, so hopefully I'm doing this right.
I have a 1974 C&C 30 MK1. To my knowledge, it was built without a blackwater
holding tank for the Head. At some point over the last 40 years a P.O. put a 5
gallon Jerry can in a storage compartment in the V Berth and installed a Y
valve after the macerator. One side of the Y valve goes overboard the other
goes to the Jerry can.
I'd like to install a legitimate holding tank and I think the storage
compartment on the Port side of the V berth is a good spot.
Here's my question...
The current opening to that storage compartment is very small, just barely fits
the square 5 gallon jerry can. Can I make that opening bigger without
affecting the structural integrity of the boat? I understand that I'll have to
make the hatch sturdy so it won't fall through when you sleep in the v berth.
There is a lot more to do, like install and plumb a pump out deck plate. But
the placement of the holding tank, and finding one seems to be the hardest part.
Thanks for your help,
Collin
