Dennis, Mine ran for about 6 years including 4 in storage where it went dormant, but I am not sure going forward. I had to replace my NiCd battery after the first year and then it ran.
I think there may be a problem with balancing the solar panel with the battery and not being an electrical engineer, but having to deal with rechargeable batteries from time to time in my work, I understand their ability to hold a charge diminishes over time and cycles. I also have heard contradictory opinions on whether NiCd require you to completely discharge them then re-charge, or to keep them charged all the time. I heard the the NiMH variety want to be kept charged. This stuff also affects laptops etc. I am facing the same situation, having purchased a second unit so I can accelerate the ventilation out of my holding tank and still trying to figure out where to put it. Now that I hear about these issues, I am not sure I want to cut yet another hole in my deck for something that will just die. Another solution I am considering as I am re-building my deck, is to insert a 12VDC low amperage computer fan in the dorade box on the "dry" side and either use a small solar panel to drive it or switchable from boat power to solar power. I will let the list know how this project goes. Maybe the electrical engineers on the list can contribute.

I took it apart and replaced the battery - I had to have it specially ordered in from a specialized battery store. It ran another 5 years but finally the bearings or brushes in the motor failed. I wish the still made that old version. I would like to find a source for a new motor as I have heard the same tales about the newer models. Do you know where?

To keep the hose free of effluent you have to pump a lot of water into the system. This soon fills tank, making it PITA to keep pumping it out. This, of course, made the hose reek.

Any advice on how to make this as fool proof as possible would be much appreciated: http://webspace.ocad.ca/~splavsa/pics/SeaSwan/2-6146.pdf Would it be best to have the fittings ON TOP of the tank? Not sure if I have the clearance under the v-berth but it seems that would be best no? I'm also concerned about effluent getting into the vent hoses. This is likely the stock tank from the 32 but I wouldn't know because the tank I removed was an "upgraded" stainless steel one. It was plumbed in with hard abs plumbing, leaking and no doubt soon to develop pinholes. It got tossed right quick.

Was reading the head problems thread and came across someone mentioning something about crossing hoses to prevent backflow at heel. I'm going to be ordering a new holding tank for my 32 sometime soon and Kracor has the tank in stock. It's a bow tank. I was originally going to ask them to move the fitting for the inflow (from toilet) to the starboard side as that is where my head is and I dont' want really long hose runs .. but this got me thinking. On a port tack on a heel I can get backflow this way if the joker valve isn't 100%. Is it standard practice to cross the hose over to the far side of the tank to prevent this? This is where the fitting currently is on the tank that they have in stock and apparently, it was made for another C&C 32. I'm thinking that when beating to weather and changing tack back and forth there would be plenty of opportunity for waste to collect in the hose and possibly backflow regardless of which side the hose connects to. Am I overthinking this? When I purchased the boat last fall it was a stinky boat. The hoses and head smelled AWFUL so I threw it all away thinking that I was going to replace everything before launch. Well, I bought a house before launch and my financial priorities changes so I didn't get a holding tank into the boat this year. It's one of the winter projects and I want to make sure I do it right because I worked hard at "de-stinkifying" the boat and I don't want any problems moving forward. Thanks all.

My old (8+ years) Nicros are okay for now. I say okay because the "head' unit is starting to get noisy and the deck mount unit will let in small amounts of water in blustery conditions and probably wets the motor, it's not okay. I was able to improve it with Moovit penetrating (similar to PB Blaster) to the motor shaft and let it sit overnight upside down. Due to the actions of the head unit I am going to replace the battery in each unit and do the oil thing. Since you raise the unreliability issues with the new units I'm glad I didn't buy replacements when they were on sale this summer. I wonder if it might be best to replace The Nicros with good passive units and then vent the boat with a positive pressure fan. Say, install a muffin fan in the aft partition of the port quarter berth to blow INTO the boat. This is outta the way and will use existing aft vents, so there's no competition. This is a practical strategy for me since I have been gifted a soar panel kit from Go Power (Carmannah) at the recent West Coast Rendezvous.

I will probably go with standard snap-shackles as the Tylaska shackles are a luxury I do not really need. I was wondering what line is recommended by other 35MKIII listers, and whether it makes sense to remove the cover (and how much). I will be sticking with my older guys for at least another year or so.
