Morning folks, first time posting, and for that matter, just a week into owning 1986 Catalina 36 Mk1 (Hull 546).
The boat is in pretty good shape and has had a composting head installed but the holding tank (which looks a bit umm, well used) I'd like to remove. My thinking is that I could either add more fresh water holding, or perhaps additional storage.
Is this a do it yourself type of job?
Any insight is appreciated

I'm pretty sure it's a do it your self'er. I'm intersted to hear others opinions as well as its a project I'd like to do as well. Are you planning on going with a composting head?.....Oops, just saw that you already have the composting head, which type is it?

Hi Dave, ours is an AirHead Composting Toilet, it's super easy to access and very simple in it's design
I replaced the entire toilet system in our boat some years ago. some thoughts and experinces:
It is a two person job, some swearing is to be expected and hold off on the beers until the job is done. A nice to have is device called Holding Tank Eye. It is a visual inspection device, no moving parts and I tells you how much is left in the tank. It gauges the last 3 inches in the tank. The surface area of the tank turns out to about a gallon per inch. My electronic guage shows 3/4 or full. The sight guage is very useful.
