Camano Troll Sewer Bladder

[MWhit]

We have a contract on a 1997 Camano Troll. During the survey we found the trawler has a sewer bladder under the steps in front of the head. Is that normal? Did the Camano have a solid plastic holding tank at some point? We have no experience with a sewer bladder. Are they good? Cause for concern? Your thoughts greatly appreciated.

I can’t say a bladder is normal. My 2003 Camano has a plastic holding tank. The location is the same though.

Thanks. How many gallons is your holding tank? In The 1997, the macerator is on the head. Is your setup like that?

15 gallon I believe. My boat has the vacuflush system, with most of the components under the front of the vberth and the macerator for overboard discharge behind the cabinet in the head closest to the starboard hull, bolted to the bulkhead it shares with the helm.

Ok. Thanks. That is helpful.
