Ed,=0A=A0=0AWhen I was looking to buy a Frers four=A0years ago, I saw about=
 1/2 dozen different boats from Maine down to Maryland.=A0 Two boats had ha=
rd plastic tanks installed forward, under=A0the v-berth on the port side.=
=A0 They were both custom fits.=A0 The largest tank was about 5 gallons and=
 had a shape that generally conformed to the hull of the boat, ie. it was n=
ot a standard rectangular box.=A0 The installer of this rigid tank built a =
lightweight platform to rest the tank on and tabbed the platform to the hul=
l.=A0 The plastic tank was strapped and secured to the platform.=0A=A0=0AMy=
 boat has a bladder tank which I will change eventually.=A0 The previous ow=
ner of my boat already installed the proper hoses, y-valves etc, so all I n=
eed to do is a simple tank change.=A0 In my research I found a company in R=
I that specializes in such things.=A0 Their info is below.=0A=A0=0AOcean Li=

1 - 2 msgs=0A=0A=0AThanks for the info Frank.=A0 I Have a=A0few of question=
s;=0ADid you place the tank all the way forward? =0ADid you use a rectanglu=
ar tank or something more form fitting? =0AAbout how far forward of the sea=
cock is the aft end of the tank?=0A=A0=0AIn speaking with Barry Carrol he s=
uggested looking into using the Raritan Compact II head=A0(no longer in pro=
duction, they do have a new alternative)=A0 with the accompaning Compact Ho=
lding Tank (this has a capacity of about 5 Gallons) or the Raske product wh=
ich is a harder to get (cost is arround $700 for head & tank set up).=A0=A0=
These tanks wrap around the base of the head and have built in Y valves for=
 straight discharge, to the tank or pump out.=A0 Barry said they=A0 used th=
em very effectively in Farr 40's and Frers 41's.=A0 =0A=A0=0AHas anyone had=
 any experience with these compact holding tank setups on a Frers 33?=A0 My=
 thinking is these head and tank arrangements will eliminate a lot of hose =
and therefore potential odor.=0A=A0=0AThanks=0AEd=0A=0A=0A_________________=

<DIV style=3D"FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">
<div>Thanks for the info Frank.&nbsp; I Have a&nbsp;few of questions;</div>
<div>Did you place the tank all the way forward? </div>
<div>Did you use a rectangluar tank or something more form fitting? </div>
<div>About how far forward of the seacock is the aft end of the tank?</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>In speaking with Barry Carrol he suggested looking into using the Rari=
tan Compact II head&nbsp;(no longer in production, they do have a new alter=
native)&nbsp; with the accompaning Compact Holding Tank (this has a capacit=
y of about 5 Gallons) or the Raske product which is a harder to get (cost i=
s arround $700 for head &amp; tank set up).&nbsp;&nbsp;These tanks wrap aro=
und the base of the head and have built in Y valves for straight discharge,=
 to the tank or pump out.&nbsp; Barry said they&nbsp; used them very effect=
ively in Farr 40's and Frers 41's.&nbsp; </div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Has anyone had any experience with these compact holding tank setups o=
n a Frers 33?&nbsp; My thinking is these head and tank arrangements will el=
iminate a lot of hose and therefore potential odor.</div>

A0=3DC2=3DA0 I am looking to replace the original bladd=3D<BR>er water tank=
, with a rigid tank, moving it to the starboard side. Does any=3D<BR>one kn=

=3D<BR>anyone have the original layout of the tank &amp; plumbing for it? I=
=3DE2=3D80=3D99ve=3D<BR>&nbsp;seen the set up on Moose, custom tanks and cl=

 is not suppose to exceed 5=3D<BR>&nbsp;to 6 feet. I have removed the macer=

e shut off valve for the seacock, and removed the h=3D<BR>oses which I coul=
d readily get to.<BR>Removing the remaining hoses are going to be a real ch=

 =3D<BR>be sorry.&amp;nbsp; Someone suggested a stainless steel tank once.&=
amp;nbsp; You bu=3D<BR>y that and you're boat will eventually be filled wit=
h waste water.&amp;nbsp; No=3D<BR>thing but acid is more corrosive than hum=
an waste.&amp;nbsp; It will eat right =3D<BR>through SS but has no affect o=
n plastic.&amp;nbsp; I located my tank forward on=3D<BR>&nbsp;the port side=
.&amp;nbsp; Everything from the head is pumped directly into the =3D<BR>tan=

t;SPAN&gt;I am looking to replace the original bladder water tank, with a =
=3D<BR>rigid tank, moving it to the starboard side. Does anyone know of a g=
ood sou=3D<BR>rce for a good fitting tank? I would like to have it as far a=
ft and low as =3D<BR>possible, with a capacity of about 20 =3DE2=3D80=3D93 =
30 gallons.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;/S=3D<BR>PAN&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DI=

t;SPAN&gt;I=3DE2=3D80=3D99m also in the process of trying to fix/improve th=
e hol=3D<BR>ding tank/plumbing set up. Trying to eliminate the potential fo=
r future odo=3D<BR>r problems. The current set up is not original. Does any=
one have the origin=3D<BR>al layout of the tank &amp;amp; plumbing for it? =
I=3DE2=3D80=3D99ve seen the set up o=3D<BR>n Moose, custom tanks and clean.=
 Only problem everything is forward, not ex=3D<BR>actly where I want the we=
ight.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;=3D20<BR>&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;=
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;=3D20<BR>&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;From what I have rea=
d the air vent from the tank is not suppose =3D<BR>to exceed 5 to 6 feet. I=
 have removed the macerator
 pump as it was not func=3D<BR>tioning and inhibited getting to the shut of=
f valve for the seacock, and re=3D<BR>moved the hoses which I could readily=
 get to.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;=3D20<BR>&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;SPAN&=
gt;Removing the remaining hoses are going to be a real chore as the=3D<BR>&=
nbsp;tank was placed just above the seacock, so it is extremely difficult t=
o re=3D<BR>move the hose attached to it. &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN=
&gt;<BR>&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;=3D20<BR>&lt;DIV&gt;&=
lt;SPAN&gt;My goal is to try to minimize the total amount of hose and above=
=3D<BR>&nbsp;all no odor.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;=3D20<BR>&lt=
;DIV&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;=3D20<BR>&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;=
