Replaced Fresh water hoses

Today I replaced the fresh water hoses to the foot pumps and the faucets. This required about 11 +/- feet of 1/2 ID water hose. The hoses were original and pretty ugly inside. At the same time I flushed out the water tank with water and a bit of bleach. To get the new hoses on to the tee fitting I had to heat them up gently with the heat gun, very tight fit even with heat. The aft bilge sump section was not draining into the forward section where the bilge pump sits. There was crud in the weep hole, all good now. At least the bilge alarm and bilge pump work still.

After filling the water tank I found moisture under the galley foot pump. Probably leaking for 25 years.

Replacing Fuel Gauge

Today I replace the fuel gauge that had gone cloudy. A Moeller P/N 35751-10 fit perfectly in the existing hole. To get to the two inner mounting screws you'll need a right angle phillips screwdriver. Apparently I could have bought just the dial part. It is magnetic.

Fresh water toilet feed tank installation

Today I tried to complete the installation of a 13 gallon toilet fresh water feed tank but ran into leaks at the y-valve on both lower ports.

The new tank goes into the v-birth area just behind the holding tank. 

Here is the tank installed:

I used a Todd 13 gallon water tank. On the port side of the tank there are two 1 1/2 inch and two 1/2 inch threaded holes. You can see the vent in the upper 1/2 opening and a 1 1/2 inch plug used to fill the tank.

Looking down the port side of the tank at the bottom is the 1/2 right angle fitting that supplies the head. There is a 1 1/2 inch pipe plug down there too. I had to install the right angle fitting and the 3/4 hose before installing the tank because it is too tight to work. The tank  is supported along the lower aft edge by a  1 X 2 screwed to a bulkhead that runs athwart ship. It is blocked by a 1 X 3 that is screwed into block glued to the hull.
