This is the completion of my saga-the installation of my new Wellington Plastics(3/8" thick) holding tank which replaces the original leaking aluminum one.

This is the new full sized tank with SCAD monitor sensor strips installed. Ready for installation.

The tank placed into the hull compartment.

This is the stbd end bulkhead reglassed into place. Note the 2X3 hold down strips around tank top.

Here the top of the tank compartment has been glassed in-looking outboard.

I installed brackets to hold the portion of the berth that was cut out. These are the aft ones.

Forward brackets shown-for support of cut out berth portion. 3/4" plywood used.

Cutout can just slide down into the brackets and is fully supported.

As cutout portion looks nested into place-from the opening for the drawer box.

Pip pin installed to hold the cutout into the brackets. Removing it allows lifting cutout out again.

White bilge paint finished off the storage compartment and plywood brackets. All back in place.

Plumbing reinstalled and leak checked(before glassing) Shows sensor hookup and 1.5" odorsafe+ hose
