[C320-list] Access to holding tank pump out and vent connections

[John morrison]

Look at the holding tank under the starboard settee. Make sure all the hose clamps are secure.  Get a good light and ensure there is no seepage under the holding tank.
Also ensure the vent line (on top of the holding tank) is secure. You can access the outside vent through the electrical receptacle  hole above the settee, bit of an octopus effort but can be done; easily by a 5 year old kid, 70year olds, not so much! Also make sure you are using a good head additive, in the holding tank.
Good smelly luck.

I’m thinking a hose clamp has slipped. We pumped out yesterday and that went fine. There is no evidence of leakage into the bilge. I tried to get access by removing the medicine cabinet but couldn’t figure out how to remove it without first removing the four hoses in there. And since I wasn’t sure I could get them installed again I quit for now. (Don’t want to end up with disfunctional head while cruising.) Is there a trick I’m missing?
