Peggy Hall.

i'm looking at a 6 gallon polypro waste tank with 2 connections and
a
vent connection.


IMHO, 6 gallon holding tanks are a waste of time and money.

BTDT.

15-20 gal is a minimum size.

interesting...why is that? it'll just be 2 of us on the boat for day
trips. a 6 gallon tank is easier to install and holds about 50 lbs...


You'll find that you spend a lot more of your time dealing with
pumpouts rather than sailing. A 6 gallon tank will be a constant
nuisance. A six gallon tank holds about 50 pounds of WATER. What you
will be putting it it collectively weighs substantially less than
that.
