[Sentoa] Holding Tank Lights

I clean the tank sensors at least once a season (not because I like to).
Don't remove the square drive screws!  The white cover with the wires coming
out unscrews from the black ring.

Unplug the wire harness at the connector (you will probably need a
screwdriver to release the clip) and unscrew the white cover.  You will
probably need to use the same screwdriver to wedge between the ribs on the
black ring and the big "teeth" on the outside diameter of the white cover
and "pry" the cover in the counter-clockwise direction until it loosens the
pressure on the sealing O-ring, then you can turn it by hand.  Look around
the cover and you will find a pair of white teeth and black rib that are in
the right relative position to use the screwdriver for prying.

Have a pail handy, lift out the sensor assembly, place it in the pail and
remove it from the boat (you will know when to take the clothespin off your
nose).  A garden hose, scrub brush, and some bleach will do the cleanup in
10 minutes and then reverse the process.
