No, I had to put in the new hatch so I could get to the old lectra-san system to remove it. In the end I had to cut a bigger hole in the deck around the lectra-san to get it out. I also couldn't stand the nasty looking bilge! There is still a lot of cleanup to do down there but at least now I can see everything and was able to re-route the wiring and hoses to a manageable system. I was also able to route the new toilet discharge hoses to the previously unused holding tank. Still working on adding a waste pump and routing it to a through hull. While at it, I'm re doing the bilge pump with 2 new float switches, a bilge pump switch and high water alarm. Previously it only had a circuit breaker for the bilge pump.
