Default Belt and suspenders on holding tank

2. I used Sealand barbless connectors everywhere.


Did you double clamp 'em all? If not, you need to.

6. Since the Sealand pump has one way valves and the thruhull is only
opened to discharge the tank, there is no high loop in the discharge
line.


That might raise the surveyor's eyebrow if you ever sell the boat or
have to have an insurance survey...but as long as you're religious about
keeping the seacock closed AND replace the duckbills annually (they open
up at about the same rate as any other joker valve), it shouldn't cause
you any problems. If it does, you can always add the loop.

Except for that minor criticism, I can only say well done!
