Bob,

As I understand Cliff's question it had to do with the head intake water line. That should be a direct line from the thru hull to the head, with no vented loop.
The vented loop should be between the pump and the bowl. This is based on my setup per the instructions in my Raritan and other head manuals.

Patches,

Storage and disposal of liquids also needs to be considered.

It's always something.

Natterling,

Go to the Garhauer site, look at the different options. Call them directly, they will make suggestions on blocks. They sent me drawings
on their suggestions and I ordered.

Scott,

Nice setup on your MK II, unfortunatly the set on Paul's and my MK I is different and there is not sufficient space for the boards in the bracket you have on the port side. With a little modification a board my fit on each side. I still think the port locker is the best solution. My thought.

Port locker, just a thought.

Patches,

If you haven't already,

Go back up to post #5, Mainsail's post. Go to his link at the bottom and click on his store. Many options for you needs.
Just my thought,

Paul,

I can't help with spreader measurement, but I used the large size spreader boots from Taylor Made last month.

Threaden Sails,

You should hear replys from others with models like yours,  but while you wait take a look at the "Critical  Upgrades" it will give you valuable insight into your issue.


Hang in there, it will get better.

Noah,

FWIW

I'm 6'5" with my boat shoes on. Your backstay looks to me to be factory height. I replace my standing rigging
3 years ago and maintained it the same configuration.

Like many I removed the teak trim.

I filled the holes, when your are two feet away you do not see where the holes were and after 2 weeks
I did not recall the teak trim ever being there.

I would check with Ronco Plastice http://ronco-plastics.com/ the original maker of your tank. If you do not see the tank number on their site call them. the total cost + shipping may well be better than CD.

When I replaced my holding tank the price when I called them was much better than the  published price on their WEB site, your mileage may very.

Good luck
