[Alberg30] More on Tanks

[Hiesener, Michael]

Roger,

I do not believe you would want to convert a water tank to a waste holding
tank.  A water tank is not designed to be used as a holding tank.  You will
want to purchase a new tank.

The area under the port side v berth works well... the drawback is that you
lose that area for storage.   One of the problems of using the area where
the forward water tank currently resides is that you would end up with a
long hose run from the head to the holding tank...You do not want waste
sitting in the hose.  Using the area under the port v berth allows you to
have a short run of hose from the head to the tank.  

We recently did this on a early model boat without a liner.  Feel free to
contact me with any questions.

Best Regards,

Mike

Thanks to all for feedback on flex tanks.  Sounds too risky particularly
when dealing with holding tanks.  Which gets me to the next question.  Any
thoughts on the feasibility of converting the forward water tank to a
holding tank?
