Hello All -
Following up on the new tank installations:
Holding tank: Tank went in with no issues, and replaced all fitting and hoses. Only adjustment was the vent hose on the new tank is 1" port, and the original was a 7/8" - I used a reducer connector to clamp the new 1" hose to a short piece of the smaller hose I left attached to the thru-hull vent. Worked well and since this is only an air connection there is no concern about liquid leakage.
Upon testing all works well with no leaks.
Forward 58 gallon water tank - I ditched the idea of replacing all of system water hoses as there was no easy way to connect the new water hose (PVC hot/cold tubing)) to the original gray pipe hoses and the valves, and I didn’t want to do this big project at the moment. Got the new tank fittings sealed in place and a few days later connected the hoses. Nice to have the full complement of water available again!
Again, the input was very appreciated!

I look forward to seeing you out there sailing Peter. At least I know you have a good working head and a good water supply. Well done.
