After a great sailing season, I'm planning on completing the insallation of a waste tank in my E27. I started the project last winter but never finished it. Sailing seemed to take precedence over any and all work that got it the way.
My question is... where should I place the waste tank vent fitting and what type of fitting do i use?
Every diagram that I've seen on plumbing a tank shows this fitting mounted either through the hull (high above the waterline) or through the cabin top (above the deck).
If in the hull, do you need an in-line check valvel to prevent incoming water when on that tack?
If mounted on the pilot house, do you get bad odors back in the cockpit when you sail or does that $82 holding tank filter from WM really work?
Any advice on the type fitting and best mounting location is appreciated.
Thanks,
