Am installing a new, additional holding tank aft under the rear head vanity which will fit partway down into the deep bilge below and stick partway up under the existing vanity drawer.
Will allow enough clearance on top for the necessary fittings in and out and for vent so all those will remain accessible from under the vanity, especially if the drawer is temporarily removed.
However, once installed and secured into position it is unlikely there will be sufficient clearance to remove the tank's pump-out dip-tube without disconnecting everything and tilting the tank in its new location.
Is that a concern?
How oftern is it necessary to actually pull a dip-tube out full length once installed?
That is the only part of this new location and installation that is giving me pause.
Have already figured out how to vent the tank and how to locate a new deck pump-out location nearby.
And will have a new separate macerator and high vented loop to an existing thru-hull for offshore discharge if needed.
All those will be accessiible under the vanity.
But once this whole new rig is installaed removal of the dip-tube would be a royal pain so am wondering how often, if ever, that would need to be done.
Is this a legitimate concern or a low risk problem that may never happen?
Please advise
Thank you.
