Thanks for the replies. I looked under the floorboards today for a manifold or something regulating flow from/to either tank. Plumbing is all tight but only T connectors, no valve. I opened P/S tubes and both showed positive flow, though port side seemed slower. I then went to the port tank and

Speaking of C 40's, I was down at our club today hanging out on Alera, under the winter cover that still has to come off. As I walked the docks I saw that there is a 40 there that has been neglected. I checked and according to the registration sticker on it, it looks like has not been used

Another important consideration for sail boat owners. Lots of water around here still went aground a few times during my sailing days for whatever reason. Big decision for me right now is about selling Alianna and moving to a comfy trawler design. On Mon, Mar 22, 2021 at 1:15 PM Della Barba, Joe

I think the tall rig on the 40 is fine for the ICW. I loved that boat. She gave me few excuses to use the engine, even in light airs if I looked at her sideways she was doing 5 knots. And she'd point like Babe Ruth predicting a home run. Heading home from Cuttyhunk was always lovely; we'd head

Pete – Another suggestion is to use a small air compressor or shopvac to blow air through the lines to determine if/where the blockage is. Do you have the small plastic gate valves at the tank? Those may be suspect. A ball valve is a nice upgrade. Also as you go through the system, if

It sounds like something is wrong, maybe the valves do not work like you think they do or something is clogged. That said, interconnecting tanks is not a good idea. This will cause a lot of weight to move to the low side every time you tack if the tanks are not full and anytime one tank is

I have a 30gal water tank under both settees. The valves for each are set to open flow. However, the pump seems to draw only from the starboard side. I’d assumed that with both valves open, the tanks would equalize, but the stbd tank empties and the pump goes dry, while the port tank remains
