Default provisioning

I mounted the Vetus soft tank under the locker in the pass thru. There had
been one there at some point in the distant past (1973 boat).
I have room to mount a genset out board of the 4-107, but it would give a
serious list, not to mention the fact that I really like having easy access
all around the engine. So we conserve 12v too. And can pay for a lot of
dinners and drinks beachside with the big boat bucks I didn't spend on one

"Ha!" indeed! On Essie, not only do you have to hand-pump the water, but
in the head you also have to hand-pump again to drain the sink. The
lengths some of us go to to avoid one more hole in the hull... lol

Escapade's water tank holds about 48 gallons. With two aboard, ten
gallons per day usage would last us...little more than two days.


I suppose that is why some people pay the $$ for a watermaker. Our Irwin
38 only has a 70 gallon tank. You think that's bad? The holding tank is
only 8 gallons.

additional tanks.
