Bill, My 1977 C&C 26 had a holding tank when I bought her about 10 years ago. But it wasn't original, it had been retrofitted. The tank is under the V berth. Plumbing goes from head to tank (via loop and vacuum break) to discharge. No Y valve. My manual says the original was self contained too.

Bill, Congrats and welcome! Sounds like the tank was retrofitted. Not unusual for a boat built in the 70s. I'd have the tank pumped, check the hoses and diverter valve and test the head. It may be fine as is. Joel Sent from my iPad On Sep 14, 2012, at 8:43 PM, "wster1...@aol.com" wrote:
