Black water tank location

Post by Reel Easy »

This may be a dumb question but. I have a 78 F-32 Express. I was looking into the plumbing system trying to track down everything.I found everything but shore water and Black water tank. How do I know if the boat even has a black water tank? Someone put in a porta potty with a drain hose on it but I cant tell where it goes. Maybe just to the pumpout on the starboard side? Maybe a tank? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

It may have not come with a black water (holding ) tank . My F36 did not have one , It had a recirculating head with a built in holding tank in was plumed in to the pump out lines . I had to add the tank .

Ok thanks guys. I looked and it appears I don't have a black water tank. I will be installing one. Would it be better to install it outward of the starboard engine? This is close to the head and pumpout. Or put it in the middle just aft of the engines? My fuel tanks are to the rear not to the sides.

I would put it on the center line of the boat even weight distribution.... there is a genny in my boat at aft wall of engine room. What's wrong with under the V berth... there should be a floor already there to take it...
You seem to be planning to have most of the weight aft of midships......

I was just thinking under the V-birth that it would be alot of hose to and from the head. Where is your head located?
