Colin,
Nauta makes some good flexible tanks. I’ve had one in my 35-3 for over 15 years and no problems or smells.

I'm used to forums like on the Moyer site, so hopefully I'm doing this right. I have a 1974 C&C 30 MK1. To my knowledge, it was built without a blackwater holding tank for the Head. At some point over the last 40 years a P.O. put a 5 gallon Jerry can in a storage compartment in the V Berth and installed a Y valve after the macerator. One side of the Y valve goes overboard the other goes to the Jerry can. I'd like to install a legitimate holding tank and I think the storage compartment on the Port side of the V berth is a good spot. Here's my question... The current opening to that storage compartment is very small, just barely fits the square 5 gallon jerry can. Can I make that opening bigger without affecting the structural integrity of the boat? I understand that I'll have to make the hatch sturdy so it won't fall through when you sleep in the v berth. There is a lot more to do, like install and plumb a pump out deck plate. But the placement of the holding tank, and finding one seems to be the hardest part. Thanks for your help, Collin
