For those of you that have an Alberg with the waste holding tank beneath the floor boards installed by Whitby, here is a photo of the underside of the aluminum tank top. This applies only to the later model ‘liner’ boats where Whitby converted the storage area under the floor to a holding tank by simply installing an aluminum cover over the area and caulked it and used pop rivets to hold it in place. Check out the corrosion, particularly to the pickup tube. There was no way that this tank could be emptied. The lid was easy to remove by drilling out the heads to the rivet and prying it off. Total removal time was less that 10 minutes...but then again, demolition is my specialty. There was basically compost in the bottom of this tank and no odor.
