Re: 28 Cpe Dory Holding tank
The holding tank is a Nauta FT911157 23.5 gallon tank. It is a flexible fabric material coated with neoprene/nitrile. It sells at West Marine/Defender/BOAT-US for around $150. IMTRA is the importer and their number is 508-995-7000 in New Bedford, MA.
Make sure it is properly installed and ALSO the fittings which are purchased separately. The previous owner of MOON CHILD had a VERY unpleasant experience with this and I had it FIXED before I had the same problem. If the hoses are not installed properly, the system leaks all over your teak and holly cabin sole and turns it BLACK amongst other unpleasantries!
Good Luck!

Re: 28 Cpe Dory Holding tank
The Nauta tank Lyn mentions is listed as a water tank. Will this work as a holding tank? I need to replace a poly water tank under the v-berth of my CD 28 with a holding tank. Could I simply convert the water tank to a holding tank or would it be best to find a triangular holding tank? What kind of holding tank came as original equipment?
