Water, Tanks & Bilges

Plumbing, fuel tanks & pumps

Fresh water

80-gallon tank under the aft cabin sole feeds a SHURflo Aqua King II pump (55 PSI, under the galley sole) with an inline pre-filter. Dockside water connection is available — turn the dock water off when the boat is unattended.

Hot water

Seaward 11-gallon 120 V electric heater in the engine room with integrated pressure-relief valve, ignition protected.

Black & grey water

The original holding tank has been replaced with a custom black water tank. Both heads now run Marine Elegance smart toilets with macerators. Sinks drain overboard; the galley grey-water sump uses a Rule 800 GPH pump with float switch.

Fuel

Two diesel tanks (≈150 gal each) under the mid cabin, with a fuel manifold and transfer panel in the engine room. The port tank is now a newly fabricated stainless steel tank.

Bilge pumps

Rule pumps with automatic float switches protect each compartment. Best practice for a boat this size: a 1500–2000 GPH primary per compartment, a high-capacity (≈3700 GPH) backup aft, a high-water alarm, a pump-running indicator at the helm, and check valves in discharge lines. Keep the bilge oil-free — discharging an oily sheen is a federal violation.
