Matt and Jessica install a 10-gallon, 5/8-inch thick Ronco Tanks holding tank into their custom boat build.1:03 Because the vessel uses foam-core composite construction, the pair cannot screw the tank directly into the hull.6:52 Instead, they secure the tank using two battery hold-down straps bonded to the interior surface with 1208 fiberglass mat and structural putty.6:16 The installation includes a 1.5-inch gravity discharge fitting positioned 10 inches above the waterline, allowing for direct overboard discharge via a seacock.2:57 The tank serves an electric head with an integrated macerator.2:15 The project concludes with painting the compartment using Total Boat Bilge paint before routing the discharge and water maker intake hoses.11:07 The installation marks the two-year anniversary of the boat build, which remains ongoing with a projected launch date set for the following year.3:50
