I have been fighting a slight holding tank leak on Rauzer II #448 for a couple seasons and have only made it worse. I now need to either have it repaired or replace it. The problem area is at the bottom of the pump out fitting. The motion of the tank flexing and the hose bouncing has either ruined the threads on the pump out fitting or there is a crack at the bottom of the fitting.

Has anyone replaced their holding tank? It looks like it could be removed from the mounting and lifted out, into the v-birth, but I don't see how it could then be removed from the boat. The other option would be to pull it into the v-birth and then have the bad fitting/area cut out and new parts plastic-welded back in.

Any experience out there with this kind of job?
