I would like to place the tank under the sole between the centre stringers.
The lateral stringers are over 1' off center and 15" deep, giving me a tank
of just over 2'W X 15"H.

Don't forget to leave about 3" for the top-of-tank fittings.

Thanks for that. I hadn't thought that far ahead. I wouldn't have thought
that much clearence would be required.

Ryk,

At some point I am sure I would like to venture farther afield but I somehow
doubt it will be in this boat. I would certainly like to give it a try but
the St Lawerence might even be a bit much for this boat. Don't know yet.

I suppose I will look a little harder for a tank. I was trying to stay away
from pumps and what not, but you are right. I could, using pumps, put the
tank almost anywhere.

A basic manually pumped marine toilet will pump uphill just fine. All
of my head tank is located above the floor level of the head.

My last boat, I installed the tank 4 or 5 feet above the head. Worked great
and the tank could be drained w/o a pump.
