Which holding tank?

Post by grania »

Hi all. Am in the process of installing a holding tank under the v birth of my 9Meter Intrepid. Anyone know where the V-shaped tank I'd need might be found? Aine

not so simple

I should have specified-the molding upon which this holding tank would rest is not at all a flat surface and very difficult to "measure". Its a basic V shape, but has edges that cut into the V-hard to explain. I havent found a holding tank that would fit restfully in this space. I was wondering if CD had some special design for this area-or if anyone else can share what theyve used under their V-birth...THANKS Aine

The tank should have a label on it somewhere indicating the manufacturer (if you're lucky anyway). If you can find it and contact the manufacturer, they may still have the mold and can build an identical tank. It's worth a try anyway.
