Looking good, keep up the good work. I think I would go with plastic water tanks, so you don't have the rust problem.

Thank you very much 😊 we have thought about using plastic but we might end up using fiberglass for the fresh water tanks so we can make them in the shape we want and utilize the space better. Thanks for watching 😊👍

You might be able to keep a passage by the engine and put the water tanks outboard under the decks on either side of the engine thereby keeping the weight closer to the original trim. Good hard work, keep it up!

Thank you very much for your comment😊 Yes that is what we are thinking about doing. We want the trim as close to the original as possible 😊👍

When placing the tanks more to the aft also keep in mind that your gearbox remains also easily accessible, so you can dismount it if necessary. I am speaking from experience. Anyhow, now you are this far with ripping out everything it is just a small step to also take off the engine as well and inspect/overhaul it in a workshop as well as your gearbox. And of course clean and paint under the engine. Keeping your tanks free from the hull is excellent. If I was in your place I should order all new stainless steel tanks with good manholes and connections. Please also keep in mind to put some extra connections in the dieseltanks for suction of diesel and overflow of diesel so you have the option of placing a daytank and a possibility to pump from SB tank to PS tank or vice versa in case you need to clean them. In this way you can already clean your tanks when you still have 50% or less of your dieselcapacity still on board. Wishing you succes with the continuation of your project. I will keep on following you. Best regards, Felix

Thank you very much for watching 😊 With the tanks all the way to the aft we will still have about 50cm between the tanks and hopefully that should be enough to access the gearbox. We would like to bring the engine to a workshop but unfortunately we don’t have a workshop to put it in. We are going to move it to the side so we will be able to clean and paint under the engine and maybe take it out in pieces when we overhaul it. Unfortunately we can’t afford making new stainless steel tanks as stainless steel is very expensive here in Denmark. We are definitely going to make some kind of fuel transfer system and maybe also install a day tank but we haven’t decided yet but it sounds like a really good idea 👍 Thank you for very helpful advice it helps us a lot 😊👍

The engineer mindset was a must removing those tanks, great method! I got polymer water tanks when I replaced mine, had them made to measure, there is a cost I know, but they are tough and fit as good as the old metal ones. Like you I found problems once I had removed, that would have been buried with the refurbishment, good update, thanks for sharing and your English is excellent! Good luck!

God job getting these tanks out. As you asked for recommendations… here are some. Build a staircase both inside and out side of the boat (wood). Water tanks in stainless 1.4404, 316L. Fuel tanks works very good in steel ONLY if you have outlet from the bottom of the tank (which you seemed to have) so that the large (!) main fuel filters can collect the dirt and condensation. Consider (expensive) a 3 pice ball valve, welded to the fuel tanks and communication between tanks. Use large dimensions for communication between water & fuel tanks, min 25 mm. “beachdad56” had good recommendation of tank modification. Move the heater - cant have a hot exhaust chimney on deck with kids and dogs :-) Don’t fall off the boat - If you do, I unsubscribe! ;-) Thanks for sharing! //Martin

Thanks 😊 first of all the staircase is coming both inside and out we just have to find out how we are going to build them. Second we simply can’t afford stainless steel tanks. We have considered it but it would cost half a Carla in steel 😅 we are thinking about maybe making our own using fiberglass. Third we would like to have communication between the tanks either free flowing or with a fuel transfer pump combined with a day tank. Fourth the exhaust will be moved. We are looking into making a though hole out the side instead for the exhaust. Finally if I fall off the boat Heidi says she will also unsubscribe 🤣🤣

Could the diesel & water tanks be run longitudinal along the side of the engine, rather than left to right as they were? It would make the tanks slimmer, but longer, leave workspace either side of the engine & maintain the original balance/ trim of the boat?

@SYCarla 3 месяца назад

Yes that’s sounds like a good idea and it is what we are considering doing. We are going to make some new water tanks that we can then fit in under the deck so we leave room around the engine 😊👍

Very good that you strip the boat you can now start from zero much better.

@SYCarla Месяц назад

Yes exactly 😊 It is a bit scary to strip the whole thing but as you say now we can start from the bottom and end up with a “new” boat 😊👍 Thank you very much for your comment.
