Hi Steve,
It sounds like your tank is constructed similar to the 35 mk-1.
I was going to remove my tank, move some house
bank battery into the locker for better weight
distribution and add a bladder tank, as Dennis
has done. It's just that I never have time to get
it done so I cruise and tolerate a sometimes leaky lid.
<insert housekeeping tip> Dribble Dove dish soap
inboard of the tank and under the engine to help
clean the bilge as the soapy solution slowly makes its way to the bilge pump.
So, if you're ambitious go with Dennis recommendation
And if you're lazy then take the lid off and
scrub the inside of the tank with a strong bleach
solution, shop vac it clean, put the lid on and
go sailing. It will be good for another 20 years
of constant use. Pretend you will get to it next
year... it's worked for me so far. :)
cheers, Russ
Sweet 35 mk-1

I'd consider dropping a flex tank in there.
Not exactly like your situation but here's a
partial view of the flexible water tank on Touche'.

I removed the original fiberglass tank which had
a lid with lots of fasteners. It was sealed with butyl rubber. Â

Joe,
Thanks for the suggestions. I have pictures
here to help

I donât think I can replace the tank, as it is
the base of the settee, though I am open to
suggestions. It isnât an insert, it is all
one piece, with a top that screws on, presumably
with a gasket, though likely with caulk type
sealant in the future, since I donât have the
gaskets. I thought there might be something to
line the existing tank with, either a liquid
material (paint?) or a flexible (rubber, silicone?) collapsible tank liner.Â
Â
Thanks again,
Steve

I would replace the water tank and not take any
chances with it . Some photos of your sette
would help also. My 30 is of the 1979 vintage .
I have an extra piece of plywood on top of the
sette . It slides between the metal brackets and
pulls out to make the bed a bit bigger to lay on .Â

Need some help/advice from some more experienced
C&C people. I am rebuilding a â73 30 MK1
project boat, that was started a few years ago
by another person and abandoned along the
way. I am focused on the settee area right
now. First, I think I can get the mold cleaned
out of the water tank, but it looks like there
are some fine cracks in the bottom. Is there
something that I can do to seal it up (paint,
liner, ?) that would be safe for potable water?
Â
Second, the settee itself has a couple of metal
brackets on the top that would keep cushions
from sitting flat. Can somebody tell me how
the settee goes together, i.e. is there a board
on top or something? A picture might be
helpful as well, since I am going to have to build whatever goes in there.
Â
Iâm sure that Iâll have a lot more questions
as this project commences, so thanks in advance!
