Port Forward Fuel Tank Goes In

Lots of rewiring today. Actually, it's mostly just cleaning up wires that are already there. Got the the new port forward fuel tank in. Sure glad the height of the tank was reduced by 1/2". Even so, had to use the hydraulic jack on the settee.



The new tanks are delivered to the dock. Now just installation remains …



These stainless screws were holding the bilge pump down. Note how the bilge water has eaten them away. The head of the screw was tight against the plastic pump case. The water trapped below it was probably stagnant and stainless will corrode badly in deoxygenated water.



The port forward fuel tank is back in place.
