[Rhodes22-list] Water tank

[Alexis Seigneurin]

Hi there,

Water doesn’t flow properly from the faucet in my boat. The pump seems to be working fine, but I suspect the water intake is clogged somehow.

Well, that’s problem 1, and problem 2 is that I now have a tank full of water that I need to empty before it gets too cold, and I can’t seem to find a way to open the tank to stick a hose in there and use a transfer pump.

Looking at the tank, I am seeing a large fitting (3-4 inches wide) with 6-7 screws. Any idea what this is?

Going back to problem 1, you can see on the picture attached a fitting that looks like it’s made of aluminum (top right of the picture). Is this a tube that goes to the bottom of the tank? I am unable to unscrew it. Is this bonded to the tank?

Should I consider replacing the tank altogether? Water was very stinky before the whole thing clogged up. I am thinking something grew in there...

Thanks,
Alexis
