Most new boats have sewage holding tanks.
Sewage holding tanks are used in boats and RVs to hold waste water. Venting your sewage holding tank is necessary to prevent early tank failure, and to keep the sewage tank working properly. A properly vented sewage holding tank will require little maintenance and will minimize waste odors. The simple connection of a hose in the right location will allow proper ventilation of your sewage holding tank.
Instructions
1. Locate the tank's vent line inlet. You can find the inlet on the top of the tank. It usually has a plastic cover if it's not connected to a vent line. Remove this cover if it has one. You can identify the inlet usually because it's a nozzle-like connection; most have "Air" written on them.
2. Connect a marine hose to the vent line inlet. Use the hose clamps to secure it in place. Tighten the clamp with a screwdriver until it is secured tightly in place.
3. Run the hose as short, straight, and horizontal as possible. Run the end of the hose to a higher elevation than the tank's location, usually on the roof of the boat or RV.
4. Secure the end of the hose with a hose clamp, attaching it to the roof or other ending location.
