Last year, right after we bought our E-32 III, I removed the hand pump, "Y" valve, etc. to prevent any waste to be pumped over board. Good thing too because later we were boarded and inspected by the Coast Guard on the Chesapeake Bay. :0305_alar They were very "pleased" that we couldn't pump anything over board.
The previous owner had left us with cracked and smelly hoses that I had already known about from the survey. It was a smelly, dirty job to remove and replace those hoses! :0305_frow At the time I thought that the smell was all coming from the old hoses and that getting rid of them would solve the problem. It did to a point but what I discovered later was that the waste tank itself smelled. It's not cracked or breached in any way. The smell might just be from being old or picking up the scent from the old hoses over the years. For whatever reason I’ve decided to replace the tank this year and I'm looking for advice.
I'm sure that I won't be able to find an exact replacement so if anyone out there has done this before, what model and make tank did you install? I know that I can just measure the old tank and find something close but I'm looking for a short cut here. (Aren't we all?) Thanks!
