Mid cabin water tank access

Post by BobCT »

Is there anywhere you can access the entire side of the tank? The only spot I can think of is the mid cabin berth facing forward (if you cutout a vent/deckplate). I would like to add a tank level indicator that adheres to the side of the tank. I added an inline unit that basically counts the flow and gallons. It works but I usually forget to reset it and don't always fill the tank to the top which makes it useless.

The forward part of the tank I can only access the fitting/line but nothing above that. Keegan, maybe a good experiment on Brion's boat?

Let's get the sawzall out!

The only way has to be by removing floor panels. I know your setup is different than mine because of you laminate flooring, but I was thinking about cutting out a larger section for access. I'll let you know the next time i'm in CT...maybe we can meet at Brions. I thought of a few more parts I might need!

Will do, I definitely want to do this at some point. Just a matter of "finding" the end or sides of the tank on the mid cabin. I know where it is, I just can't get to it.
