I changed the holding tank on my CC 30 because the thing was leaking.
It starts by removing the vanity, the sink. It's fairly easy, everything is
screwed, not glued.
I had to destroy the back panel because screws were not accessible. I made a
pattern for the new one before destroying the old one.
Once everything is removed, clean with aggressive stuff and paint. Nothing like
a new paint to get rid of old odours.
Now that it took some time to remove all of this, I did a thorough job,
including replacing old gate valve and thru hulls.
I constructed a new septic tank to use as much space as I could, ending with a
20 gallon tank instead of 12.
The tank has an odd shape and was made with 1/4 plywood as a support for
fiberglass inside and outside. I also added a semi transparent window,
to see the level in there. There is also a pump that allow me to empty the tank
out at sea, far away from coast. Finally, note there are two
air intake, to ensure a good supply of oxygen in the tank, the recipe to no
odours.
Here are some pictures:

Before I break a sweat, thought I should check in with the group. I know the
holding tank is behind the teak wall or vanity but I was curious as to how
much had to be removed before gaining access to the tank. If it all needs to
be removed, is there anyone out there who can supply photos, nuggets of
wisdom, step by step instructions, tips or tricks to getting things apart
with minimal destruction?
I know several have done this job on their boats, and replaced the metal
holding tank with a plastic one. (I lost the names of tank suppliers). I am
looking at installing one of the new Jabsco toilets.
After resetting the hard drive on my computer I lost the link to the archives
and my links to suppliers, so I have not checked there yet.
