Where's the extra tank?
Loyd, The left hand spigot at the galley sink should supply fresh water from the tank you refer to and/or an auxiliary 25 gallon tank that your boat might have been fitted with. If that were the case, it would be located under the V-berth, one bulkhead forward of your holding tank. It's not unheard of for E31 owners to have removed that second tank. Proof of one being there or having once been there can be seen on deck adjacent to the bowsprit. If just one deck fill (holding tank), then your boat was not ordered with that tank from the factory. If you have two deck fills there, that tells the story past and present. The right hand spigot gets its water from the biggest water tank of them all, the one your boat is sitting in, salt water. Don't believe me? Take a taste and you'll get religion real fast. Here's the thinking behind having those two spigots. Our boats are blue water cruisers and as such water can be at a real premium, so dishes are washed in salt water and then a minimal amount of fresh water is used to rinse them off. Loyd, can you do me a favor? Will you let me know if your boat has or had that extra tank? I'll include what you tell me on my spread sheet for your hull number listing, thanks.
