I own a 1975 Endeavour 32 which was not required to have a holding tank. I need now to install one. Where? I understand marine plumbing but port side head and starboard holding tank? Any ideas? thanx

I know what you are talking about. I have a 30'' Morgan, and I''m instaling a holding tank. The inlet to the tank is 6" higher than the outlet on the head. I think that the outlet has to be higher than the tank. How do I do that without back flow. The tank is starboard and the head is port.

On my ''79 E32 the holding tank is placed in a compartment under the aft port side of the V berth. This is a short straight run for the plumbing. Hose for pumpout runs back into head, then straight up to a fitting. I also put a T fitting on the pumpout hose, one branch up to fitting, the other through a diaphram pump to the old through hull for manual pumpout.

My tank is in that area with drawers that you describe. A hole was cut in the top (later covered with a hatch) to insert the tank and plumbing. You might have to install a horizontal floor to hold the tank. The tank is plastic, holds 13 gallons, has an inlet, outlet, vent hole and inspection port. I didnt put it in but it looks like a generic off the shelf type
