$141 for the tank with a two week turn around time
I ordered one last winter and it works great!
We (my wife and I) use the head on the boat for #1 only.......but I did take a large dump in the Bullet's head last week before the new owner picked it up!!

None of the plastic ones that I found would work. I think the fresh water tank on the other side is the same size.
waterheater, Yes I think all marines have a vacuum system to empty it. I think they are all the same but mine has 2 buttons the top one will bring in the water through the hull and then flush to the holding tank. There are two valves under the bench seat on that side. The small hose is for that water and if you open the valve with the large hose and push both buttons at the same time it will flush the holding tank through a masserater pump and then out the bottom. I guess that is a no no unless you are so many miles off shore so don't get caught with it left open.
birdog I tried to call you tonight and see how you are doing but no answer. I didn't leave a message.

I would say they are the ones. When you get a chance find them inside the boat and see if there are shut off valves on them. If you don't plan on using the head I would make sure there closed.

Re: top gun holding tank
4 Gallons seems like a lot of sh!t.
waterheater, the Peru Launch has a free head pumping out station.
BTW I would run it with water only to check if the whole system is still not leaking and creats vacum.
