Ed,
Been poking into some of the same issues. Check out the Raritan site for tan=
ks, and really good odor control info.

> 1) I am looking to replace the original bladder water tank, with a ri=
gid tank, moving it to the starboard side. Does anyone know of a good source=
for a good fitting tank? I would like to have it as far aft and low as poss=
ible, with a capacity of about 20 =E2=80=93 30 gallons.
> =20
> 2) I=E2=80=99m also in the process of trying to fix/improve the holdi=
ng tank/plumbing set up. Trying to eliminate the potential for future odor p=
roblems. The current set up is not original. Does anyone have the original l=
ayout of the tank & plumbing for it? I=E2=80=99ve seen the set up on Moose, c=
ustom tanks and clean. Only problem everything is forward, not exactly where=
I want the weight.
> =20

d 5 to 6 feet. I have removed the macerator pump as it was not functioning a=
nd inhibited getting to the shut off valve for the seacock, and removed the h=
oses which I could readily get to.
> Removing the remaining hoses are going to be a real chore as the tank was p=
laced just above the seacock, so it is extremely difficult to remove the hos=
e attached to it.
