While we've been on the hardstand our toilet tanks are out of action, giving time for issues found a while ago on the port side to be fixed as part of the ongoing warranty repairs of our Leopard 45 catamaran. But since the boat builder is nothing if not consistent, we found more leaks than expected, spanning across both of the boat septic systems. Since the tanks had never been pressure and leak tested before, we had no idea just how far the issues with our new boat went in this area.

Just over 65 hours were spent rebuilding our black water tanks and rerunning pipes to fix issues that were causing toilet water (and smells!) to leak out of the tanks. Who did the repairs and were they paid you might ask? Have a watch and leave your thoughts in the comments!
