Gary,

Did anyone involved in your replacement show concern about using any kind of metal for a holding tank.

The reason I ask is becuase I was reading this page ----> MARINE SANITATION : Fact vs. Folklore.

Note the section on holding tanks and the following quote. "no metal of any kind should ever used to hold sewage. Urine is the most
corrosive material it’s possible to put next to any metal."

The author of those pages is considered "the expert" on this subject. Peggie gives seminars all over the country and I think she has written a book on the subect. Over the years she has given out tons of free advice on the Cruising World General Message boards and almost everyone she has advized has come back to thank her and comment on how accurate her advice was.

I would keep an eye on the hose fittings because if things did start to corrode, that would be the most likely to go (IMHO).
