Darn practical advice regarding holding tank vents

Got some great advice about venting holding tanks from Dennis Massoth of Marine Sanitation in Seattle.

"We're now putting in two holding tank vents," he said. "One to port and one to starboard. No matter which way the wind blows, we'll get air flow through the top of the tank"

It would be important to install a second vent line fitting, as iar would just blow through the top of a "T" without really scouring across the surface of the tank. There's a rubber fitting called a Uni- Seal that will form a leakproof ring around the new hole cut for the second vent.

With two vents, there's no "dead end" for wind entering the vent line.

Makes a ton of sense to me. Thought I would pass it on.

You betcha. Try to make those vents 1" or bigger in diameter. Just plain mushroom thru-hulls, none of that tiny screened crap. (no pun intended!) Keith

I think Peggy would certainly approve.
