I'm sure some of the withdraw fittings on the bottom are broken. I was going to run a 1/2 inch pipe tap in them and glue in a nipple. I've never...
Cool, thank you! They look about 24x24? There are only 3 tanks remaining, I think they all have fittings broken off. I was going to cut them up.
Me too. The Admiral won't go forward without them. The pollywog I bought the boat from left the rail, pulpit and outriggers in Delaware. Said he...
Thanks Shawn! Old tanks are going away.
Yup....dummy previous owner plumbed with rigid pipe. Broke most of the connections. Going with 2 tanks 40 gal each which should open up some space...
If you find them let me know......
It won't be. 1/4" thick neoprene strips will be glued to the bottom of the tank.
I saw today evidence the tank was resting on the center tube.(rubbed flat) I think I'll put 5/8" pressure treated deck boards to give a level...
The fuel tanks in this boat are actually isolated from the bilge. Under normal circumstances water should not be under the tanks, although in...
Out it comes! Surprisingly there were no supports under the tank, only a couple rubber strips that didn't appear to be doing anything. Nice mess...
It's a shallow area, I installed Poly Planar speakers in my 42. I'll see about pictures tomorrow.
Thought of you only after the time to edit had expired Mr. Crapps! Anyway, temporary supports and cover installed....going striper fishing...
I have another theory on the tank failures. On my 1975, the fuel tanks are in a containment separate from the bilge. The owners manual suggests...
You could get your hand on the valve with considerable difficulty. What you COULDN'T do was replace the fuel gauge sender. When I had the new tank...
I've been putting off replacing the aft tank all summer, I had it built last spring....yes there is another foot to cut out.
Atlantic Coastal Welding built my replacement for my aft tank. I beg to differ Captain J, aluminum will be quite long lived if properly installed...
Well I've been tap dancing around this all summer....time to get started. [/ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I wish you well. Hey, check in from time to time.....Once a Postie always a Postie!
Mother nature had nothing to do with these confused seas. A bunch of really ignorant throttle jockeys. Its amazing nobody gets killed when they...
Love my ancient 42, these were said to have the worst behavior in following seas. I HAVE experienced the "suicide slide" once, but that was...
