I am replacing my old aluminum  holding tank with a new plastic tank.  I would like to plumb it with hard pvc for the short section that will have "stuff " in it all the time.  It would be about a foot long, from the pump to where I have to turn it towards the holding tank. I would also do the same for the outlet towards the deck pumpout, just a short section, until it turns up toward the deck fitting.
I am rerouting the current hose lay out, because the previous owners installed a plastic tank in the storage area, and I want to go back to original configuration.
Does anyone have a 1986 or there abouts, 44' Gibson with the vacuflush heads and the two accumulator tanks feeding into one pump.  I would love to hear how the hoses are layed out in the bilge area.
Sailor helped me with the layout to and from the heads, at least his layout sounded pretty close to mine, but he doesn't have the vacuflush heads.
Thank you,
Mary
