Bill,
The C250 Marine Head was an option that not many owners bought.
It's not that we are ignoring you, it's just that we don't know the answer.
I'm not sure, but the marine head might have only been an option for the Winged-Keel and not available for the Water-Ballast model.
Because the holding tank is near the transom, it might also interfere with the wheel steering option.

Can you please confirm you have a winged-keel with tiller steering?

Thanks, Russ

I had a wing keel version that came out of the factory with a marine head/holding tank and a tiller. I am told that it was 13 gal capacity. A later owner converted to wheel steering and had to reduce holding tank to 6 gallons due to the space requirements.

Bottom line: It can be almost anything, since this is a non-standard option that is often installed or modified by the dealer instead of the factory. I think the best way is to measure capacity by adding a known quantity of water and getting back there with a flashlight to observe the level. A good rinse would never be a bad thing anyway.

If I were installing one again, I'd get an upright tank and locate it right behind the wet locker. That long hose run back to the aft lazarette is horrible, with a dead volume of a couple gallons, and an long uphill slope that fails to drain into the tank. As a result, it is impossible to do a good purge of the line, and stuff invariably permeates the hose.
