Jim, your photo series on removing a holding tank from a H35.5 is very interesting, and I may follow suit in doing so. However, I wanted to know, since I will contract out a boat yard to do this, how many hours did it take you to remove hoses and tank altogether? Also, did you replace your tank with a bigger one? If so, how big? I would like to increase tank capacity. thanks

Loaded Question
With the opening in place, it only took a couple of hours to remove the tank and hoses. I tried to remove the hoses before I figured out that the only thing that works, is to cut them. Then its half a day to clean up the boat and all the bilges. I flushed the tank out but, forgot about the intake hose being still dirty. Made a grade A mess. Sprayed everything down with KO per Peggy. Replacing tank with a Ronco B250 (25 gallon. It will require some modifications to the tank area. I will document it for HOW when it is completed.
