Hunter 290 Haverstraw
Good Morning, I want to replace the Holding tank monitor on my Hunter 290 but went in pull it out of the tank, before I can get it all the way out the top of it hits the the deck floor / cabin ceiling. How do you get it out and put a new one in?

I know someone is going to say why bother, but it has been broken for years, and every time we take a trip, I am always pumping it out, as I never know how full it is, and it is too much of a pain in the neck to visually check the tank.

Thanks

Not familiar with the 290. It sounds like you have to move the tank though. Or...if it's plastic, get a new foil type sensor that sticks to the outside of the tank and leave the old one in.
I installed a monitor over the winter. I agree, it's handy to know your status.
