Water resevoir for 1968 Coronado 25"

[jenellekrissel]

Brand new boat owner (first boat). I've found the bladder under the V-berth but can't find where it fills! Any suggestions?

Jennelle,

Proceed with caution. If your boat has a "holding tank", it may be that bladder, and have been retro-fitted.

You can figure it out by following the toilet outlet line and seeing where it goes. If it goes to a Y valve, it probably is for black water.

Check under your settee seats to see if there is a white polyethelene tank under one (or both) of them. That is more likely to be your "water tank", and it may have a fill coming in from the deck, with a cover that has an "O" ring seal to keep out sea water. It does need the "O" ring, and the "O" ring should be lightly lubricated with silicon grease; avoid over tightening.
