On the mid-80's H40's do the two heads have separate holding tanks and what is the volume capacity of each?
Thanks.
Thanks.
A question of tankage
- Thread starter IH82BL8
- Start date
It appears to depend on the model year.

In any case, it appears that the tank for the forward head is a higher capacity than the tank for the aft head. This is disappointing because, if the forward head were converted into a hanging locker, the larger of the two tanks would be forfeited.
I can only speak to the 1985 model
but there are two separate tanks.
The aft tank is made up from a void in the fiberglass grid liner directly under the nav station. The lid is prone to leak but is repairable.
The forward tank is made from another fiberglass void under the forward end of the v-berth. In my opinion the forward head is an abomination and should be removed and used as you suggest (we did.)
In 14 years I have not seen any reliable indication of capacities but I'd estimate each to be in the 15-20 gallon range.
There are lots of places to put an additional waste tank for the aft head but we've never had a need to do so.
