  • Avoid Scams.

    Our classifieds are free and anyone registered here is welcome to post an ad.
    Be aware that there are unscrupulous folks out there. Avoid any interaction that seems odd to you or �feels� wrong. Inquiries from unknown buyers, buyers �agents� and other non-traditional approaches should be treated with extreme caution.

    Beware of unsolicited contacts offering to put you in touch with someone else who is buying or selling via e-mail or text.

    Do not post your e-mail address or phone number in a classifieds ad.

    Hints that you may be dealing with a Scammer:
    • Seller or Buyer approaches you via a direct email or PM and then steers you to an off-site communication method (text or email).
    • No posts or very few forum posts.
    • Recent forum membership
    • Insists on conducting negotiations via email or text rather than PM
    • Requires payment via Bank Transfer, BitCoin/CryptoCurrency, WesternUnion or other unsecured method.
    • Buyer or Seller suggests Paypal "Friends and Family" payment. Paypal is a good way to arrange payment but an invoice for goods and services should be used rather than "Friends and Family". "Friends and Family" avoids fees BUT there is no recourse if the transaction runs aground. Friends and Family is for gifts only. There is no protection for Friends and Family transactions, so never ever use it to buy something.
    • Declines to allow viewing the item before proceeding with the transaction.

We are interested in CWay. Can you please explain about the 2 aluminum and 1 steel fuel tanks. Have any of them been replaced? How is the fuel fed to the single engine? Have you experienced any leakage?
 
When we bought the boat there was a fair amount rust on the top of the Stbd tank (a small amount on the port tank). Both tanks were steel. The tanks were not removable intact as installed. We pulled the inspection plates and they looked OK on the inside, but since we were planning on doing the loop, we decided to replace at least the Stbd side. We cut it out and replaced it with two aluminum tanks that can be removed without major surgery. We also made the new tanks a few inches shorter to allow better access to the top fittings. We have never had a leak in any of the tanks (old or new). When we got the old tank out, we discovered the rust was not very severe; worst case was maybe 1/64" of pitting on the 3/16"? plate. So we left the Port tank original.

The two Stbd tanks are manifolded together and can each be operated independently -- each has its own fill, suction and return. Their vents are plumbed together. Port and Starboard tanks are fed though shut off valves that allow either one side at a time or both sides simultaneously (not recommended) to feed the engine. It sounds more complicated than it is. All valves are accessible through the cabin sole hatches or from the Stbd side engine room access.

Thanks for your thorough explanation. Do all of the tanks have gauges? If you do not burn from the port and stbd tanks simultaneously, is there a balance problem? Does the boat list? Can the port side tank be cut up, removed and replaced if needed? Was the stbd side tank easier to remove than the port side tank?
 
All tanks have gauges. The port tank also has a sight glass. We did not install sight glasses on the new tanks, opting for all fittings to be on the tank top. Since we typically burn less than two gallons/hr, the fuel burn versus list issue is not very critical. We decide each day which tank to burn from based on how the vessel is sitting and where the oldest fuel is. The FW tanks are P/S also, so between water and fuel, we can keep the vessel on an even keel. Nothing happens fast list wise.

The port tank should be significantly easier to remove/replace as the stbd stairs to the Pilot house interfered with the installation. Note the engine does not need to be removed or otherwise messed with to replace the tanks. It does not appear the port tank is in need of replacement based on the area of the tank visible. The tanks are of pretty robust construction.
 
Thank you very much. Your explanations are very clear and understandable. We may have more questions. Thank you again.
 
No Problem. She is a nice boat. I like to talk about her.

Does the remaining steel tank have an access/clean-out port on the top of the tank to allow convenient cleaning and maintenance of the tank?
 
Yes, all three tanks have access ports on the tank top.
