[C320-list] water tanks

[Allan S. Field]

Another thought with the water valves is to install tank monitors for the 2
main water tanks and the holding tank.  Once this is done, the water tanks
valves remain open 24.7.  The many other advantages of this are obvious.
Following is a link to the article I wrote several years ago on the install
project.  http://www.catalina320.com/article.php/20050219114042848

I also thought of that, Haven't done it yet.
I thought about putting the valve in the vberth portside locker that the fwd
tank line runs thru.
That way, you don't have to move anything but what is in that locker
