[C320-list] Waste Tank Question

[Jack McDonough]

What's a PO? And why would anyone knowingly store a boat with a full holding 
tank?

I had an inspection port installed in the top of our holding tank. I don't 
remember what it cost but it was worth the price. Taking a look is a sure 
fire way to tell how full it is.

How do you check the status of your waste tanks? The PO of my boat stored
it for the winter with the tank FULL. I didn't know and since I wasn't
using it assumed that it was empty. I finally removed the vent hose and
unscrewed the fitting to inspect and found that it was inches from the
vent!!
Anyway, short of emptying it every week from paranoia, I need a reliable
way to check the tanks. I've been looking at different tank monitors and so
far, the iSeries from Tech-Edge is the only one that looks decent. Since
it's over $200 I'd like to get some references. What do you all use?
