I am replacing the port side aft waste holding tank in my Bavaria 40 with a larger tank. The sanitary hose that runs from the tank up to the pump out deck plate disappears above a wood lining through a hole slightly larger than the hose diameter. Does anyone have experience in accessing the hose connection to the deck plate hardware? I'm assuming that there are some hose clamps to be removed but don't see an easy way to access them (is there ever an easy way??). Does one need to just cut out more of the wood lining to access the connections? I am removing the hanging locker that was in front of the original smaller waste holding tank in order to increase the new tank size, so aesthetics in the locker is not really an issue. I am hoping that I do not need to remove the deck plate to access the hose connection to it. Any insights or past experience with this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
