Fairline Phantom 37 ('94) - fitting of black and grey water systems

[DivingDarin]

I appreciate the target audience might be a little narrow in the greater scheme of things however I am very keen to learn of anyone's experience fitting black and grey water systems to their Phantom 37. I am a capable DIY'er and I have been reviewing such systems on the "old t'internet" but I can't find any owner's comments etc. Any good and bad experiences; sound advice is much appreciated.

Hi. Keen to hear what you have now…or perhaps why you wouldn’t have such a system already on that boat. Very surprised if she didn’t have it already.

Black water is usually not too difficult but finding space on a boat like that for any meaningful volume of grey water as well is a challenge

These are the experts tek-tanks.com suggest you go on the site as it has good schematics of different types of systems. You may well find that they have already done something for your boat. Also worth looking at whether the factory ever fitted a holding tank as usually this is a good design to follow.

This is also a good source leesan.com

Be prepared for a big bill and lots of hard unpleasant work!

Thanks for the link and thank you to everyone that has posted a response. The boat does have a holding tank and the expected configuration via Y valve however it is 28 years old hence I am keen to learn of black/grey water issues. It seems as long as the pipework is good and the "pumps" have not disintegrated we should be good for some time to come. Thanks all
