Lavezzi 40: Installing holding tanks

[Grateful]

Our 2007 Lavezzi 40 lacks holding tanks. Fixing this will be the first phase of our refit. FP has retrofit kits in stock and I am about to pull the trigger on ordering them. Has anyone installed or serviced these tanks on a Lavezzi 40?

It is my understanding that the tanks are located within the bulkhead aft of and above each head. A quick look does not reveal any way to remove the liner in the bathroom or in the clothes closet on the other side of the bulkhead. Will I have to cut the molded liner and create a removable panel, or am I missing something?

They mount directly to the wall above the head and then have a cover that goes over them.

Thanks Jay.

And to think that I just told my wife, "Of course they do not mount on the surface of the bulkhead, that would be gross..."

How finished does it look?

They originally had fiberglass covers that go over them. If Fountaine still has them available. If they don't you could make a cover out of white 1/4" PVC board this is what they do in the Lipari.

on the Orana they are just boards that hook over the top of the tank and have a bungee cord to "attach them to the tank at the bottom. It is quite neat really and gives you easy access to work on the hoses or tank.
