The new tank goes into the v-birth area just behind the holding tank.
Here is the tank installed:
I used a Todd 13 gallon water tank. On the port side of the tank there are two 1 1/2 inch and two 1/2 inch threaded holes. You can see the vent in the upper 1/2 opening and a 1 1/2 inch plug used to fill the tank.
Looking down the port side of the tank at the bottom is the 1/2 right angle fitting that supplies the head. There is a 1 1/2 inch pipe plug down there too. I had to install the right angle fitting and the 3/4 hose before installing the tank because it is too tight to work. The tank is supported along the lower aft edge by a 1 X 2 screwed to a bulkhead that runs athwart ship. It is blocked by a 1 X 3 that is screwed into block glued to the hull.
OK I fixed the leaks using the Oetiker hose clamps on the Y valve ports. The barbs on the y valve were not as aggressive as the barbs on the right angle fitting installed in the water tank.
