[C320-list] Replacing the holding tank

[Karl Mielenhausen _/)]

Warren,

I'd be glad to photograph my factory installation for you.
I have the Ronco B-348 tank, which is 22 gal according to the Ronco  
catalog (not sure how full they fill it!!).
The diagram in the manual implies that the 1 1/2" lines coming from the  
head and going to the "T" before the macerator enter the tank on the  
starboard end. In reality, they curve around to the port side (closer to  
the boat centerline) where the tank is deepest.
The one to the "T" exits near the bottom of the tank.
The one from the head enters at the top. I don't see why this could not  
enter at the starboard side.

Regards, Karl
