We had a tiny leak in one of the water tanks that has bothered us since January when we noted water in the bilges. We wanted Sylvan to have a look at it, as he is the only one we trust with such a job and he is an excellent Stainless Steel welter and has been working with us in 2005 and 2010. After a lot of trying, as he is no longer independent, we found him and he agreed to have a look at the tanks.
This morning he came and we spend four hours dismantling them - a huge job - and they were too heavy for us to lift, so we got the yards boys to give a hand and to load them on the trailer.
We believe that the leak was from a bad connection between the tanks, where the bronze pipe was corroded, as can be seen on the left of this photo. But to be sure, Sylvan will test all the welding and put the tanks on a pressure.
