I've read on the data sheets that the CD 31 has a total 84 gallons of water tankage.
I know I have a port, starboard and center tank.
Does anyone know the capacity of the individual tanks?

Re: Capacity of water tanks on CD 31
Nominal capacity is 84 gallons total.
However, Jim Walsh took the time to actually measure each tank on his 31 and the stated volumes are inaccurate - more like 60 - 65 gallons total. Still a fair amount of water for cruising, but not what the owners manual says.

Here's a link to my original posting. You need to have an accurate capacity if headed long distances or to remote areas.

I had a feeling if anyone knew it would be Commodore Walsh (Commodore of the 31 fleet).

Re: Capacity of water tanks on CD 31
Just under 30 gallons each in the port and starboard tanks (center tank empty) balances out mine perfectly. For weekend cruising half a season 30 gallons is more than adequate.
