I was inspired just now to move the water pump too. Out in cockpit locker it can freeze, but if I move it inside the cabin it will be above freezing during a cold snap. Also prevents the engine heat from making hot water when you don’t want it to be hot.

A couple of years ago the plastic tanks under teh settees in my cabin developed cracks. I found the material could not be welded, nor could I purchase replacements in the right size and shape. I ended up cutting the tops out of the existing tanks and putting a pair of bladder tanks in the remaining tanks shells. I had reservations about letting a bladder tank slide around under the settees, or taking a chance on a puncture from the storage bins on top of the old tanks. I lost a few gallons of water tankage, but I'm satisfied with the new arrangement.

The tank is not a triangle, the top is a rectangle and the bottom has angles to match the hull. One compartment forward of that is a small space that would fit a triangle.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Stus-List Re: C 35 MK 1 bow water tank Joe, Touche' does not have a tank in the bow. That area is pretty much open with no structure forward of the V-Berth step other than the anchor locker bulkhead. Suspect the tank is not structural. Touche's water tank was under the aft seat of the dinette forward of the half bulkhead. It may have been similar to your tank. It was fiberglass with a riveted on top. Lots of rivets. I replaced it with a 26 gallon rectangular Plastimo flexible tank in the same location. Very pleased. Easy to remove it every spring and clean it on the dock. You have often espoused flexible tank usage in aircraft. Would you consider a triangular flexible tank in the bow? A sistership here in my marina has a flexible wastewater tank in that location. -- Dennis C.
