Seeking Advice or (who to ask)
I have a Yamaha 33' Tall Rig Engine under Cockpit, hull no. 55,
Problem: the hose from head connects to a check valve to a "Y". one side of "Y" valve leads to single hose to holding tank. The second side of "Y" valve goes to through gate valve to through hole. The "Y'' has a broken handle and "Y" valve will be replaced, however access to hose connections are accessed through the small triangular space in the head floor.
How to gain access to Holding tank hose connection without cutting through bulk head wall between head and "V" berth?
The holding tank is under the port side v berth with an acrylic cap with no less than 18 screws which are non functional.
The new "Y" valve has two possible set ups
1) set up for "A" to "B" or "A" to "C";
2) The second set up allows "A" to "B" or "A" to "C" or "B" to "C".
"A" from head through check valve to "B" holding tank.
"A" from head through check valve to "C" gate valve to through hole.
"B" holding tank to "C" gate valve to through hole to drain holding tank would only drain partially to sea level.
I am considering changing the system to a positive hand pump as apposed to the gravity drain system where you can only drain tank to water level.
Any help or advice will be appreciated
