Hello fellow sailors. Among lots of other boat troubles this year. I arrived at the boat to find a pool of nasty brown liquid in the bilge under the holding tank. Good news is this bilge is sealed at the bottom and I was able to vacuum up most of the offending liquid with the pump out nozzle. I am trying to find the leak but I was on a tight schedule and could not dive into the problem. I will be tomorrow. My holding tank is strange as the macerator pump is directly attached to the tank (see photo). It is my opinion the macerator is the culprit. Since I sail in the Chesapeake I have never used it. My question is: How do you get the macerator out of the tank to replace it and is there any thinq special I need to know so I don't destroy the tank in the process. If it were up to me I would remove the macerator completely but a smart person I know said not to do that as it will negatively affect the resale value of the boat. All wisdom greatly appreciated
