Earlier this week, I launched my 30-2 after spending the winter [Va.] on the
hard. The boat had been blocked slightly bow UP, as usual.
When it was splashed, about a gallon of effluent, mixed with anti-freeze,
rushed into the bilge. After some checking, I am 95% sure my waste system has
a leak.
As yet, I have not determined if a hose or the tank has failed. Last fall I
pumped it "dry" and added a gallon or so of anti-freeze, as usual.
The tank sits in the bottom of the cockpit locker, under a false flooring.
Looks like it will come out through the opening, but I'm worried about removing
the hoses - both off the tank as well as out of the boat. They "snake" their
way through some inaccessible places. My manual lacks a schematic.
I'm sure the system is original equipment. Can anyone share some "tips and
tricks" on breaking loose hoses? P.B. Blaster? heat?
thanks,
Pete W.
