Much cheaper than OEM
I bought one of these and they work great. The container must be flexible to collapse as water is removed. http://www.coleman.com/Product/809E602T#.U5UdiPldWSo

Shads;
The sink water for the galley and head drain direct out of the hull. Look underneath each one. I am thinking you are talking about the big water holding tank that you fill up for fresh water storage. That would be a 29 gallon tank and I would suggest that you ask the this forum's store site first to see if they can get it for you. See Store second from left on top.

Water reservoir
Dave,
I think he is using the wrong terminology and means the collapsible water jugs under the sinks, that the pumps draw water out of. After talking to the Sailboatowners store, I found the ones from Coleman are cheap and easy to get and even better, the existing tubing from the pump faucet fits perfectly! Just for future reference.
Oh, by the way, I was able to move the over-size (8 foot) bimini mounts back 18 inches from the original location on the coaming, move the adjustable rear poles to the back of the stern seats, moved the pad-eyes on the boom forward so that during normal sailing, the reefing pad-eye is also my attachment point for the mainsheet and the second pad-eye is now about the mid-point of the boom for the mainsheet when sailing with the bimini up. So a long-winded way of saying I listened and did not add a traveler to the cabin top. Works just fine and saved a lot of work and expense.

First a goof up of information. On the 260 there was a 20 gallon water holding tank most forward under the V berth. It has been a long time and if the 26 did have the five gallon collapsible plastic tank like the 23.5, John is correct and thank you sir for pointing that out. I too can make a mistake so will be extra caustious in the future.
John; thank you for listening about a traveler. over the years I proved one was never really needed one due to racing with standard gear, not healing over 14 degrees either reducing sail and/or letting sails out;however, the boat was designed for a trailer sailor who wanted to get out and have fun, not for racing.

Speaking of water holding tanks I own an 81 H22 and I recently drained mine of the anti-freeze I'd put in a few years ago. The water finally cleared but there are bits of matter floating in the water that looks somewhat like decaying leaves but is slimey to the touch and dissolves away. Any idea what it may be? Thank you.
