I am looking to relocate my water tank to the compartment under the berth. I saw a gallery that showed how someone did that, but I can't seem to find it again. Does anyone remember this gallery? Among other things it showed was a slot cut in the bulkhead that allowed the quantity in the tank to be seen.

I would like to find out what tank was used and where he got it.

Thanks.
 
I thought it was him, but there is nothing in his gallery that shows this mod.
 
One possibility is that you saw a C-Dory 25 with the tank under the V-berth. I think certain years had it there. I know that Dora~Jean has some photos in a gallery where he cut an access and then marked the tank (in a 25).

I've just been mocking up tanks here and there in my boat (because my original tank sprung a leak, so I decided to get a new tank). For now I think I've decided to go back in the same place. At first I was waffling, because a custom tank was not going to be much more than a new "box" tank, in which case I had a variety of possible locations; but then I found a place that makes the box tanks at a much more economical price (thanks to the archives here), so that made the choice more clear. I still haven't decided between 20 gallons and 27 gallons (I like to swim/rinse).

I thought about putting the tank ahead of the porta-potti area in the V-berth, but decided I wasn't sure about having that much weight that far forward (I can see the plusses to that location though).

We use the water for dishes and clean up so 25 gallons lasts all summer.
I removed the water tank and built a shelf for the porta-potti to sit level on. Then bought a new 6.5 gallon fuel tank it comes with a vent,gauge and the filler already and installed it in the v berth.I then ran the tubing to the electric water pump and put the squeeze pump before the pump since it has a one way check ball in it. It works great. And frees up space where the p-o-p was at.
Saw the idea for the p-o-p done on another boat.
I will post the pictures in the album[/img]
