Not good news I'm afraid - I had a similar problem on the fwd holding tank on my Santorin, but worse, the entire pipe came off inside the tank!! The solution was to remove the tank completely, which meant a virtual dismantle of the fwd heads. Once out, it needed to be sat in the sun and kept dry for about a week, then all the limescale and sh...(you know what).. could be removed by hitting the sides of the tank with a wooden mallet, and letting it fall out. Then we removed both copper pipes and replaced them with plastic ones which were glassed in - remember the inlet pipe has to be longer and reach to about 8cms below the top of the tank. Then it is put it back in and replace the panels etc. Best of luck Mike & Chris SN 027 - Akwaaba --- On Wed, 4/20/11, Barry <seagasm@...> wrote:

Date: Wednesday, April 20, 2011, 12:23 AM Good morning, can anyone advise me how to replace the copper pipe in the waste pipe of the rear holding tank. I have discovered holes caused by electrolysis where the hose clamp secures the earth wire. Thank you Tradewinds III SM #171 |
