265 holding tank vent

[Bender]

Hello,
Bought this 2000 265 express earlier this year.
Having problems with head. I believe my vent line is plugged.
So I have 2 questions?
How do I gain access to top of holding tank?
Is there a filter installed on vent line?
Thank you

the starboard side storage compartment in the helm area will have a hatch on the bottom. The holding tank is below that.

1) no filter unless a previous owner installed it.
2) start with the through hull vent fitting. It has a small screen which becomes clogged. Take a small pick and rip the screen out. Happened to both my boat and my friends. The screen serves no purpose on a holding tank other than clogging and preventing it from working correctly,
3) I did have a toilet paper clog in teh actual hose on a previous boat. I removed the hose, blew it out, and was back in business.

remember to start at the beginning with the screen it is the quickest and easiest and most common clog.
