Kevin,
My boat has/had the same tanks as yours, all in aluminum, and all
configured as fresh water tanks which are plumbed to a manifold on the
port side near the pressure pump. The tank under the settee was removed
by a previous owner - I assume it sprung a leak. I plan to keep the vee
berth tank as fresh water, find a replacement tank for the settee for
additional fresh water, and convert the aft tank to a holding tank so
that I end up with the same configuration that you have.
Currently waste water from the head is routed along the bulkhead behind
the head and into the wet locker. Instead of going through the bulkhead
to the cockpit locker as yours does, mine is routed to a through hull
under the sink. I was trying to decide whether I should go through the
bulkhead immediately behind the head or keep the original route to the
hanging locker then go through the bulkhead there to get to the cockpit
locker - sounds like option number two was the factory routing. If you
are able to snap a picture of where the waste line goes through the
bulkhead in the hanging locker on its way to the cockpit locker I would
be grateful. I think the trick will be to avoid the hot water heater
and the fiberglass shelf near the hull, and have the pipe come through
in a location where it can make the necessary bends to reach the top of
the tank. Does you waste pipe pass over the top of the hot water tank or
between it and the hull?
Thanks very much for replying to my post - the help from other C&C30-2
owners is much appreciated!

Julian,
I have a plastic holding tank in that location with a deck fitting
directly above set up from the factory that way I believe. Waste lines
lead from the head, through the bottom of the adjacent wet locker, and
just under the cockpit locker floor to the top of the holding
tank, which is just aft of the 6gal hot water tank. Are you sure the
aluminum tank is not a waste tank? My factory water tanks are under
the vee berth and another under the starboard settee, both plastic. We
are on our boat this weekend, so if you email a reminder I will try to
get a photo for you.

I’ve recently purchased a 1989 C&C30-2 which is not plumbed with a
holding tank. There is an aluminum fresh water tank beneath the
starboard aft locker that has an original manufactures label that
calls it a waste tank. My guess is that these boats came from the
factory configured with this tank plumbed as either a fresh water
tank or a holding tank. I’d like to repurpose my tank as a holding
tank. Most of the connections seem straightforward but I’m trying
to decide on the best routing for the black water pipe between the
head and the tank. Does anybody have a C&C30-2 with the aft tank
setup from the factory as a holding tank? If so please provide
some details about how the hose is routed from the head, through
the bulkhead, to the tank.
Thanks,
Julian
