1984 Beneteau Holding Tank

[gbgreen59]

I am a new owner of a 1984 Beneteau First 35'. I found that the waist holding tank is missing. It appears to have been a "flexible" (bladder) type. It appears to have a, roughly, 1/2" hose to the toilet and, roughly, 1 1/2" hose for pump-out. I found a few flexible holding tanks online. What is the best choice for finding a new holding tank? I'd like to stay with a flexible holding tank for now. Maybe change in the future to a rigid holding tank.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Vetus makes a line of quality flexible holding tanks for grey or black water. The down-side to any flexible tank is it does not readily allow for the grown of aerobic bacteria, which is necessary for minimizing vent odors. But if a rigid tank will not fit....

Very good. I will look into that brand. I'm wanting a "quick fix" for this season. I plan to replace with a rigid tank in the future. It is the same with the potable water. All are flexible (bladders) tanks for the potable water. I want to replace with rigid tanks in the future.

Thanks for the response.
