First, I had to get the old tank out. The pump out from two weeks ago ruptured the tank and the contents were everywhere (well, bilge at least).
Out came the battery, battery box and the top half of the wooden steps. Messy.
Unscrew the stainless steel screws holding the tank in place. Getting very messy.
Drain the tank as best I could. I lost the will to live.
Disconnect the inlet, outlet and vent pipes. The vent pipe was completely bunged up with calcium (?).
Unscrew the port side drain pipe (pictured left, just above the old tank), and lift up slightly, so as to allow the tank to slide forward, up and o
ut.Lots of disinfectant later, one clean area.
Disconnect the pump out pipe from the deck-fitting.
That's as far as I got on Saturday. Home to hot bath.
