Holding Tank

More progress on the final rebuild of Duamara, (Thursday's Child of Lee) I made a mock-up of the holding tank out of Coreflute and Gaffer Tape, just to make sure it would it would fit and I could get it into the space available. (51 litre capacity!)
So now it's ordered, all I need to do now is put the bits together...

I have been very fortunate in being able to get the advice of a friend, who lives in Ireland (David's diagram) who has a similar yacht to ours and was able to give me some direction on how the plumbing could go together.
I will be using this solution with a couple of mods of mine.
(An electric Macerator pump, a slightly bigger air vent, plus a connection for pumping-out at the marina.)

I had to go back to the boat yesterday as I lost my wallet and my final place to look was the boat, yes, I had left it on board, a round trip of about 2.5 hours, I'll try not to do that again!
