Kevin,
Thanks for the additional detail. Is the hole through the cockpit locker bulkhead at roughly the same level as the hole entering the locker from the head? If you're able to take a photo of the bottom of your wet locker that would be very useful. At this point all I need to do is firm up where to go through the bulkhead to get into the cockpit locker.

Interesting all. My waste hose does go through the wet locker, then turns aft through the cockpit locker bulkhead, then vertical and inboard over the water heater, then aft along the inboard side of the cockpit locker (under the plywood floor) and then drops into the top of the tank. I imagine this is the way other's have it. However, I do have the aft deck fitting cap that says 'water' on it and always assumed it was a replacement cap for someone who couldn't find one that said 'waste.' After reading this thread I am not so sure someone has not converted my water tank to waste back in the day.
I also still have the overboard discharge with a diverter valve in addition to a macerator, which in theory could pump a full holding tank overboard, but 1" macerator output line is actually clogged with petrified $hit and has been since we bought the boat 7 years ago. (Perhaps I should not admit that in a public forum?) The macerator pump fitting also is broken and so necessitates a replacement macerator, but I haven't found the desire to spend the $200 for a new pump which is illegal for me to use anyway. All this being said, I would not eliminate the overboard on my boat in case of an 'emergency' with the holding tank full. Do not tell the Federales.
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
