Tank Measuring Guide

BOW TANKS

To measure for a bow tank, attach a string fore and aft in the compartment at the height that you think the top of the tank should be. Next, at three inch intervals along the string measure the depth of the compartment. Using the same three-inch intervals measure the width of the compartment. Now you will have some data to use when looking at the list of tanks. You can use the same method in reverse if you have the dimensions of a tank. Set the string at the tank height and make sure all of the boat's dimensions are larger than the tank's. If the space is too close to call, then make a cardboard mock up of the tank and see if it will fit. Finally check to see that the tank will fit down the hatch and into the tank bed!

Pick up your phone and order the tank right away.

SIDE TANKS

Start at the deep side of the space and determine the height. Then measure the width of the space at the forward end and try to make a reference line on the bulkhead. Now measure the depth of the space every three inches along the reference line. Take the same measurements at the aft end of the space. Now with your data check to see which tanks will fit. When you select a tank double-check the tank measurements in the boat. Check to see that your tank will fit through companionway to its final resting-place.

Now run, don't walk to a phone and order the tank.

RECTANGULAR TANKS

Measure the longest dimension first then the other two lengths. All the rectangular tanks are listed with the long side first. Often it is easier to partition an odd shaped space and put in a rectangular tank or two, than trying to fit and odd shaped tank into an odder shaped space. Especially when you need to put in a platform for the tank to sit on.

Once you have selected the tank call me A.S.A.P. with your tank order. (401) 683-4434

IF ALL ELSE FAILS

Get a tape measure, a cell phone, a pencil, a pad, some string, some scotch tape, and my phone number. Go down to the boat and we'll chat. (401) 683-4434
