Hi folks,
On my last trip on the boat I had a total of 4 people for 6 nights. Only my wife showered (lots of swimming) and we used the water sparingly. On the 6th evening the water started to sputter, signaling the water tank was about empty. My boat holds 175 gal of water, so I figured a leak someplace.
Back at the dock we refilled the tank and ran all the systems, but I couldn't find any leaks. One possibility is that when my wife filled the tank, she stopped after the first "burp", thinking it was full. I've never run out of water before so I am trying to look at all possibilities. Of course, one of my sons could have left the water running for a long time without telling me.![Whistling :whistling: :whistling:](https://www.trawlerforum.com/forums/images/trawler/smilies/sk/whistling.gif)
What do you guys think? Have any of you gotten fooled by the air bubble in your water tank?
Cheers, Bill
