[C320-list] Holding tank vent

Adding to what others have already stated.   Once you have removed the
medicine cabinet you will discover that the thru hull for the vent is still
not easy to get to, no sir.  For some reason Catalina decided not to make
it easy to disconnect the hose and or replace the thru hull (which is
clearly undersized and almost non-functional).   You will find the thru
hull is not only up under the box joint where the hull meets the deck but
it is also really off to the aft side of the medicine cabinet.    Also…on
our hull they used fiberglass reinforced vinyl water hose for the vent
hose.  This is an absolutely horrendous choice of hose for this
application.    Replacing all this mess with a simple open thru hull and
properly sized hose of the right material (anything is better than what was
factory installed) is a great upgrade.

FWIW
