There are new fittings which require a winch handle to open the fitting; check to see if your locker will accomodate a winch handle. Then you have two different tools required for filling the water or pumping the head. Or if you went with plastic fittings you could have one colored green and one black or red for the pumpout.

Another concern for the fresh water fill up in the bow is failure of the seal on the deck fill. Since the anchor locker will get water splashing in in rough conditions; it's possible that it could be submerged in salt water now and then; allowing salt water to leak into the tank if the seal ever went bad.
