[Public-list] Water tank problem on older boats (or, boat fal ling apart, ...

[Michael]

I used two access ports on #220. the 6" screw in assembly fits inside a 
Hobie (it might be Beckson) pop out deck plate. the pop out one goes into 
the plywood. There is space between the plywood and the 'glass water tank to 
'swing' a saber saw.

Epoxy is not toxic after curing, I cleaned and epoxy painted the inside of 
my water tank after gaining access. The inspection plate simplifies 
winterization, and gets you to the water supply in case of pump failure.

Having said all that, it really does sound like your problem is in standing 
water in the chain locker. What I used to do all the time on Checkmate was 
fill the water tank to the brim, which caused the vent tube to spew water 
where it was flopping around... in the chain locker. It now has a 
goosenecked overboard discharge below the toe rail.
