[C320-list] What a GREAT list...

[Jon Vez]

Jamie,

Judging from your hull number, I believe you already have a 19 gallon
holding tank...

Warren - I am interested in this upgrade: can you provide or post
specifics - or did I miss that ?

Where did the new larger tank fit ? (my 12 is in dinette seat locker,
starboard just forward of the head, and the rest of that area is chock
full o' batteries)

I can't figure out enlarging this without moving the whole house battery
install, or plumbing across the cabin to more open locker space on the
port side - both not good options.
