Help Installing Forward Hatch Auxillary Tank

[abbeydorney]

Thanks so much, first post but a long time fan of this site, its an amazing resource. Apologize for my delay in response -- the boat and I are a few thousand mile apart right now and was trying to get my brother to get a few pics. When he opened up the access hatch for the main tank - he could see that the forward compartment we had set the tank in is just a lightweight tub supported only by its rim, with quite a bit of area between its floor and the hull, so we are taking a moment to consider if its worth doing it the right way with proper bracing etc, or just stick with jerry jugs etc. I liked your idea of mounting fill and vent aft and that would put fill and vent lines for both tanks relatively close. Thanks for taking the time to offer some advice and will get more detailed pics if we move forward - John
