Default Replacing the thru-hull vent for my waste holding tank.

Sometimes you just gotta haul out that wallet, or find a really skinny
kid to crawl up there. The vents are generic, you can use the fuel tank
vents if you want, but a straight through-hull mushroom will work
better. You don't really want a screen in there, and the bigger the
vent the better. By the way, why do you need to replace the current
one?



a. the boat is almost 14 years old
b. the thru-hull vents are made of plastic
c. the plastic has gotten brittle with age
d. and the real reason- on one of the last outings of the season I apparently
banged against a pier and snapped it off.

But the other 2 vents are getting brittle as well so will be in need of
replacing soon as well.
