Re: SM 2000 head backflow and holding tank leak -second attempt
Thanks James. This is good information.
Epoxying in a fiberglass tube riser will be my next/third attempt… if the sanitary hose solution doesn’t hold up.

Re: SM 2000 head backflow and holding tank leak -second attempt
This is a personal opinion: I do not believe that compost toilets and Amels go together.

Can’t say I know much about composting toilets in boats. I can say that I was in the composting toilet business (Clivus Multrum) for probably 10 years back in the 70’s with hundreds

Nice write-up Mike
A task that will inevitably zoom up the jobs list when that leak appears.
