What size is the thru-hull? 3/4"? 1-1/2"? Was the holding tank factory installed, or retrofit? Where is all this stuff located in your boat? I get the impression plumbing varied depending on year and factory options, so it might be good to give us more specific details of what you can see for sure.

Assuming that the water inlet valve for your marine head is still hooked up, I believe the isolated thru-hull valve near your holding tank was at one time probably hooked to a Y-valve for the purpose of overboard discharging the contents of the holding tank.

I believe the factory installed marine head inlet valvess are all located below the V-berth through the small access door.

The brochure and manuals section of the home page. When I got my boat I printed out all of them as well as saving them to my computer.

Where is your holding tank? I have a 79 dinette model, and that is where the factory tank an to-hull was.

On my 1980, the holding tank is under the forward dinette seat and the to-hull is under the V-berth.

My 1980 TRaditional has the holding tank under the port setee. In the V berth there is a water inlet (1") and a outlet (2"). The outlet is now disconnected and capped off as I removed the Y valve when it broke. Only use the holding tank now.

It most likely is on the port side if you have the dinnette version. Whatever lazarette is close to the bulkhead.

Note - I still get confused between dinette and traditional... I have the darn booth at Mcdonalds in my cabin and that is where mine is located. To me that is traditional because traditionally its what I've always had....
