The situation was altered on Moose before we purchased her.
=20
The head is an electric =E2=80=9CMarine Elegance=E2=80=9D unit mounted =
fore and aft. To accommodate this layout the sink was removed and =
pressurized water was added. We miss the sink but fore and aft for the =
head is definitely better if you want to use the head sailing upwind. =
The electric pump is remarkably effective.
=20
The holding tank is under the v-berth on the port side. It is rigid. I =
am not sure of the capacity although it is approximately the same as the =
fresh water supply. There is a deck plate forward for pump out and the =
vent line is also led forward. There is a through hull seacock with a =
manual pump just aft of the tank.
=20
We have not had any odor issues.

Hi All- we are going to bite the bullet and replace the septic systems =
on Nereid (ex-AWOL). The current setup is a 14.5 gallon Nauta bladder =
under the starboard side of the v-Berth. I think we are starting to get =
some permeation problems, and the odors are making it hard to cruise.=20
=20
I wouldn't mind changing the configuration. The current location means =
long hose runs to and from the head and pumpout fitting. It looks like =
the bladder would fit ok under the port side of the v-berth, but I was =
wondering what other solutions exist. I have no idea what the original =
configuration was. The PO tried to fit a hard tank under the sink in the =
head, but reverted to the bladder due to some tank configuration issues.
=20
Any suggestions would be welcome!
