Fresh water level is the potable water and is in most likely a 40 gal tank. There is a fresh water fill marked up on the deck.
Holding Tank is labeled waste on the deck from the head and that one is most like the red (empty) indicator. When you need to empty it and go to the pump out they will most likely screw in an adapter to it and clamp on a hose and start herding the turds out of the tank.
I believe that it will sink your boat depending on whether you have someone there to notice your bilge pump going and going and take action to help. Even if you have the charger on the pump will deplete the battery quicker then the charger can charge the bank and your boat will sink. How quickly I can't say but over the course of time it will happen.
The best advice our delivery captain gave us was:
1. Before you try to use the twin screws to maneuver the boat, bring its forward motion to a stop. It one less force the screws have to over come.
2. When you are bringing it to a stop listen to the boat and let her tell you what she is going to do due to wind and current so you know what you have to do.
#2 only sunk in over the course of the season...

When you leave your boat at the dock, I would recommend disconnecting the shore water hose. Shore water has sunk many boats...

just back from marina and had Comcast install the High Def Cable service. Great to put the kettle on and watch Discovery Channel with the heating on.
