[C320-list] 3 fresh water tanks ?

[wflowe3 at netscape.net]

 Great idea to size the extra tank w/ the holding tank.? I'll crawl into the lazerrete, measure the tank and calculate its volume.
Thanks

Not a common set up from what I have seen / heard on the list, but an
enviable one - I believe the 'stock' set up is only the two tanks w/
fills on the starboard side - forward tank under v-berth (really early
320's had forward tank in the salon I believe).  The stern, starboard
tank is under the aft berth on my boat and I think that's been typical.


The additional dedicated head flush tank is nice, particularly if it is
balanced in size with the holding tank (you would run out of flush water
and have a full holding tank at the same time - somewhat self-
monitoring).

Many on the list have recommended fresh water flush to reduce smells and
we have tried with success also- we use the sink pull out faucet to put
water in the tank - dedicated tank sounds nice.

I have 3 fresh water deck fills on Papillon (1146). One goes to the tank
under the V-berth, one on starboard aft? (near diesel fill) that goes to
a tank somewhere on the starboard? aft side (not sure where) and a third
deck fill? on the aft port side that goes to a tank in the lazerette
where the steering quadrant and cables are. It looks like the tank
discharge hose in the steering lazerette has a? one way check valve and
is plumbed directly into the toilet for a fresh water flush.

Is this a common set-up?
