squirt some expanding foam between the tank and the walls to eliminate any movement

Hi You Two! As always, thx so much for your channel!

As you plan your moves with your freshwater feeds, I have an idea you may wanna consider… there are scores of accumulator tanks out there, but I've done it differently (and much, much cheaper with similar results). I don't think we really need bladders (unless we wanna install at lower points in our system). What I've done a few times is choose a location that's out of the way and high up anywhere in the boat. Doesn't matter where. Maybe pick a closet or a lazzarette and buy as tall a piece of 4" Schedule 20 PVC piping as will fit up in a back corner of said compartment. Buy caps for both ends, a simple pressure gauge and a bicycle inner tube style of valve (Schraeder Valve), if you wanna get fancy. Put a 'T' at the bottom and let that hook up to any branch of your plumbing. As you run your system, any air will naturally accumulate in as high a point as it can find. Hopefully, your new PVC tank will be that high spot! You'll save $$$ and get much longer runs of pressurized flow with far less cycling…

Is there going to be a composting head on this boat?

Are you really going to launch it incomplete next year? Perhaps hiring some people to help? It seems like the minimum to launch would include Installing engines, engine controls, exhaust and raw water lines, rudder/linkages/cables/autopilot, helm, helm electronics, hull joints fared/gel coat, all thru hull fittings, port lights, anti foul, deck rigging, railings/safety cables, cleats, windless/hardware, mast, mast rigging and electrical, mast tuning, batteries, power managment, running lights…I'm probably missing a lot just to get it sea worthy. Oh, and certified for insurance…which would have additional requirements.

Suggest glassing in a hard point that you can screw into. 2 years may seem “long” but you are doing great!

Hey Soph..I think you are right with the 'Homely, don't pay any attention to the 'Homey' crowd.

Sorry Mat that is the worst idea you have had, those straps are now useless to hold that tank, they will shear at the glue line very quickly. A thin piece of pre laminated glass strip forming a saddle is the way to go in that space, best fix that now while you have good access the straps should never be glued in place

the lighter solution wouldve been going composting toilet. i cant understand why people choose to lug their shit around them. specially when you can dump it offshore without feeling like an idiot. 2 people raw sewage is garbage, not pollution. there is a difference. those massive cruise ships are eons more polluting than hundreds of cruising boats altogether. with composting you have the option of keeping the goods with you whilst on shore waters, and displacing it appropriately on shore. no plumbing, no tanks, no electric toilet to go wrong, less power used, less plastic used, less holes on the boat/hull, you can even integrate the composting toilet into your specific head foot print (building one is not that hard and well within your skills).

Where’s the pump out boss ? How are you going to do pump outs ?

Interesting I didn't know boats have separate holding tanks for each head. How does that work when your pier side like your live on boat currently you can't dump in the bay..?
