The holding tank needs to be high enough to gravity drain. If no direct outlet to sea from toilet (ie via a diverter) make sure it's easy to poke something into the tank right down to the seacock. The holding tank will block at some point. Everyone says it won't because they'll be careful - but it will. Consider putting a valve in the breather hose - so that if the holding tank outlet is blocked you can pump air into it from the toilet to pressurise and unblock (unless something explodes first!).
@SailingSeabird4 ай бұрын
Great tip. You know it's going to get blocked. It's just a matter of time. Hopefully there's enough space to slide it out. Plus the exit of the tank is directly above the seacock. We'll give it go as we have most of the pieces and take it from there. Cheers for watching 🙂

A good idea I have seen for tank vents is to run them into stanchion bases with holes in the stanchions. A friend's boat had that. The only negative was once when they didn't realize the tank was full, flushing turned the stanchion into a sort of poo sprinkler head.

Hi, my experience with the inline black water tank is very good: Easy handling and no bad odours, at least on the boat we chartered this May. We used it for 2 weeks. 2 factors are important: size and location. size: 25 liters volume seem very little to me, I would double that amount. location: as high above the waterline as possible. The location you chose may be too low in order to empty well ba itself. The outgoing hose needs to attach from below (that's "inline") in the deepest spot. There are conical upright tanks available that adapt to the form of the hull.

My only misgiving about removing a second head, when you are lucky enough to be able to have one, is that one on either side of the boat means one toilet will always be available regardless of which tack you are on.

Came across your channel purely by chance... With a valve at the hull, on your header tank, you will have no syphen problems. ... The drainage tap will only be open while you are there. 20 ltrs of goo will take about 1 minute to drain with an inch hose... After that, the valve will be closed... I have the same set up with 120 ltr holding tank. I Tee off from the drain, to a deck fitting for vacuum extraction with its own shut off valve... Works like a treat... Put a shut off valve directly off the tank drain to save burst pipe filling the bilge with chocolate...

I enjoy watching your rebuild. I have been using an in line holding tank installation for about 30 years with good luck. Suggest locating the bottom of tank above your boat's waterline and plumb discharge line below bottom of tank so that it will empty completely. I use a pvc valve ahead of the thru hull valve so that you can do maintenance on the thru hull valve without having to clean the tank.
