John, I repaired my water tank over the winter. It is part of the inner
liner of the boat with an aluminum cover. I had to cut small a section
of the woodwork to get the cover off. Glad I did. the old calking used
39 years ago was soft and some in the bottom of the tank.. Drill out the
pop rivets and take the cover off repair any cracks in the fiber glass.
Take the cover if still good and grind off any oxidation 36 grit and
fiberglass the bottom of the cover. reseal with silicone and new pop
rivets.Put the A piece back in with wood backing and use coated
sheetrock screws.. I went to the plumbing supply and picked up a small
carbon filter unit and mounted it under the starboard side storage. 
Good luck  Joel..
