I removed the aluminum lid portion of the built-in nasty, old holding “tank” on
my 42. I had to widen the fiberglass top that held the lid to install a
plastic tank in the same space. Instead of using a sawzall, I got a
controlled, clean cut through the fiberglass with an oscillating saw.

Hi Daryl,
The only way that tank is coming out is with a Sawzall. I removed mine by
cutting it up in small pieces. I then found a tank (online) that I stuffed in
from under the sink. In order to get a similar capacity (14 gallons), it had
to stick out into the cabinet area under the sink, reducing storage capacity.
The original tank is pretty small, and I lost another gallon with the HDPE
replacement.
Good luck,
Gary

Hi guys, I'm trying to work towards getting the boat ready for a trip south
starting summer 2020 and one of the big things on my mind is the original
aluminum holding tank, which I'm told will eventually start leaking and get a
new plastic one in there, problem is getting it out, short story: friend with
same boat, he and the marine yard decided there was absolutely no way it was
coming out, cut the plastic vanity, replaced with a nice teak strip to hide
cut, looks great, $3500 and that was 5 years ago. Without taking everything
apart I'm looking at it saying but it looks like it might fit. Question to any
owners: has anyone seen this done, can anyone say it will absolutely fit with
making cuts, before I start taking things apart, I know it's been discussed on
here before but I'm hoping to find a definitive yes or no, thanx guys.
