Integral water tanks filled during Cape Dory 30 refit
O que este vídeo aborda
Atom replaces two leaking 30-gallon plastic water tanks in a Pearson Yachts-USA Triton with custom-built, integral fiberglass tanks.0:12 After removing the original tanks and cutting away the fiberglass hull liner, he constructs tank walls using Divinycell foam panels and plywood strips to fill gaps between bulkheads and the hull.1:27 He reinforces the structure with fiberglass, installs baffles, and coats the interior with Total Protect Epoxy Barrier Coat followed by Tebow Bar Rust 233H potable-grade epoxy.7:28 The port-side tank holds 41 gallons, while the starboard tank holds 40 gallons.7:52 He installs deck access plates sealed with butyl, a copper pickup tube to reach the tank bottom, and a vent line routed to a high point in the dish locker.10:30 The system connects to a foot pump, charcoal filter, and sink spout, intentionally avoiding electric pumps and deck fills to simplify maintenance and prevent leaks.11:12 Removing the hull liner provides permanent access to the hull for future repairs and pest control.8:52
