Holding tank solid

We thought we might be able to reuse most of the old loo hose but no it was so calcified it defo needs replacing. The tank was gooood in place and screwed up to the hull and feels very solid and immovable. And the hole through the deck for the pump out connection was reinforced having removed some of the end grain balsa wood, we squeezed it into the recess and shape with a strip of tape coved cardboard, came out set very neat and tidy after hack sawing the squeeze flush.
