The tank under the pullman vents on the port side hull about even with the anchor locker. As for the water in the bilge, I would suggest also checking under the dust bin at the bottom of the companion way. The 3 valves and strainer for the water system are on the forward side just under the dust bin.

I used liquid gasket material in addition to the gasket that was on there to seal the tank(s). The problem has not reoccured. I am sure that you have checked the vent hoses by now to make sure that they are attached properly. One of my vent hoses had somehow loosend through the shipping procees. I also had a broken stanchion where the exit for the... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (peterw) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/4271 Mon, 08 May 2006 08:00:52 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/4270/t/Filling-Water-Tanks.html#reply-4270 Rodney Kidd, C-42 #567 Sashay, 2 Cabin Fin, Marina Village, Alameda, CA ]]> feeds@yuku.com (sashay567) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/4270 Sat, 06 May 2006 19:36:48 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/4269/t/Filling-Water-Tanks.html#reply-4269
Regarding the placement of the air vents, as Larry indicated, the forward and port mid-sole tanks are vented in the anchor locker. However, our starboard... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (tinolanza) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/4269 Sat, 06 May 2006 15:20:30 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/4268/t/Filling-Water-Tanks.html#reply-4268
Welcome aboard! I'm sure you'll enjoy your 42.

On Melelana (1990, #175) the forward tank and 2 salon tanks vent to fittings in the anchor locker, port side. The port aft tank vents to the transom.

I believe you have P/S sole tanks rather than the salon settee tanks 1989 and 1990 boats have. They still should be vented outside the hull of the boat.

Before leaving the dock at the brokerage for the 60nm trip to our home, I decided to fill the water tanks. I placed a hose in one of the filler openings and turned on the water. Water began backing up in the filler, so I turned down the pressure and everything seemed to be OK. After 10 mins. or so, I noticed that the bilge pump was beginning to cycle on and... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (afterglow) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/topic/1314 Sat, 06 May 2006 08:26:58 GMT
