Tank size, CD 33

Post by Vincent »

I have a 33, does anyone know the size of the quarterberth water tank, and the size (gallons) of the vee berth tank?
Also, I am in the Baltimore area, does anyone have a need for these tanks? I moving my water tanks to the center of the boat and pulling these two out.

They are each 24 gallons and the starboard berth tank is 30 gallons. According to the manual.

As Paul mentioned "according to the manual".
If it matters that the tank capacities be accurate, such as if you are intending to sell them, it would pay to determine the "actual" capacities.
The CD31 manual, and the manufacturers capacity labels originally affixed to each tank are incorrect. I have a port, starboard, and a forward tank. The capacity of the forward tank is 18 gallons, not 20 as claimed. The capacities of the port and starboard tanks are 23 gallons each, not the 30 gallons each claimed by the manufacturer and the manual. The actual capacity is 16 gallons less than the claimed overall capacity. Not what I'd call a minor difference.

I don't have a quarter berth tank in my 33, but I do have a bow tank and port and starboard tanks in the salon. Are you removing those? I need to replace my starboard tank and live near you in MD.

Thanks.
