The results are in. I measured the tank at 1' x 2' x 5'. Per Bernie's formula, that comes out to (12 x 24 x 60) /231 = 74.8 or ~ 75 gallons. Talking to the pumpout people, I discovered my vent pipe is plugged, which accounted for the overly full holding tank. Hence, they haven't been emptying the tank each week due to vacuum created during the pumpout process.
I also discovered something else you saltwater-types may be interested in. I have two heads - stateroom and guest area. We rarely use the guest head unless we have overnight guests - not all that often. I was just informed that the guest head should be used every so often, because salt crystals form in the hose, dry, causing pitting and hence break down of the hose allowing odors to escape. Then the entire hose needs to be replaced. Just a heads-up for y'all.
