Several times over the past few years, we have been alerted to a problem with our holding tank by the smell of it. Investigation shows foul water in the engine bilge in back of and above the tank. (On our CD the holding tank forms a ledge in front of the engine with an inspection port in the main bilge at the foot of the companionway ladder.) Perhaps the tank has gotten too full, but is it possible that it leaks into the engine bilge? We never have foul water in the main bilge. We pump out regularly and this year flushed the tank thoroughly.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? If there is a crack, how can it be found and repaired? We'll appreciate any advice.
