I am a new boat owner (this summer). I have a 26 foot cabin cruiser that is equipped with a holding tank and a head.
I am unsure how often I should have the holding tank pumped out? Can anyone give me some guidance here?
Also, used the head a few weeks back for its intended purpose (everyone knows the head DOES NOT get used for a #1 only...that what the lake is for). I started thinking that maybe I should add some deodorizer to that tank. Do I flush the deodorizer down the head, or do I just open up the cap where they pump the tank and add the deodorizer there?
Is it safe to add a little bit of fresh water to the holding tank via the pump out access? The tank was empty when I used it, so i thought it might be wise to add a little fresh water along with the deodorizer in order to "get things moving a bit"...if you know what I mean.
Thanks for stomaching this question.
