I cut an access panel but I don't have any pics, sorry. I put in a hatch similar to the fuel shut off hatch in the bilge.

Also, still need to know where the fresh water holding tank is.

Yes. I had to use a sawzall to cut apart what was'nt corroded apart. As far as the replacement. I hav'nt gotten to that part yet.

I'm either going to cut a hatch (which I hate thinking about) or go this route with a flexible bladder? Thoughts? This looks like a pretty good idea. Does anyone know if the existing "tank" has a vent in it? I wonder how this would react when using a pump out??

I was a little concerned about the bladders when I first heard of them but my buddy has used them for airplane fuel tanks. They are supposed to hold up well. Might also save you from cutting fibergalss.
