Hi One of the issues that came up on my survey, was that the holding tank was floating free under the V-berth. No hold downs were present, other than a couple of bungee cords that had long since broken. As I needed to free up y-valves that had frozen in place (soaked in vinegar overnight) and replace all the 1-1/2" sanitation hose. I'd thought might as well build a support too. I used 1/2" marine plywood along with a couple pieces teak I had lying around. After cutting the plywood to shape and fitting it to tank and hull, I epoxied it in place, keeping a gap against the hull to avoid any hard spots. I let it all cure overnight, and gave everything a fresh coat of paint the next day. The tank now sits in the support with about a < 1/4" of play. Of interest as I was cleaning out the area, I located a large area below the teak flooring in the V-berth of what looks like pour-rock or some other cement product. I guess it was put in place by the builders to balance the boat?CheersLarry
