    Well, this is exciting. Got a new poop tank from GLS. 1/3 of the cost of having one made.

    At least you don’t have to worry if your hole saw falls off the drill like mine did!

    What are the “rules of using the head” once a brand new tank is installed (and I’m guessing all new waste hoses as well?)… will there be a sign posted for what is and is not acceptable depositing? I think I’d just lock the door and no let anyone in for at least one boating season. I mean it’s like having a brand new boat for crying out loud.

    @YYZRC what’s nice about the vent is that you can pull it out and the rubber grommet then stick a hose in and spray down the sides. Really helps when the level sensors get gummed up (put the vent near your sensors). At the end of the season I put a long PVC pipe in with a scraper on to end to get everything that’s stuck on the bottom loose, fill it up with clean water and flush it out for the winter.

    Yes I do that @aero3113 - very convenient. My sensors are mounted on the outside of the tank (ultrasonic). 

    I’m going to mount the tank with a shim opposite the outlet so I can extract max poop.

    Yes, mine are mounted like that also. I should add a shim.

    Very nice. Does the dinghy cause any problems with getting on plane? Looks heavy.

    It is about 600 lbs and the lift is about another 100. It isn’t good obviously but she still gets up on plane. The bottom paint made all the difference.

    How did you contort yourself into a position that would let you replace the drain plug? A special tool or something? Seems impossible.

    @kordo my boat came with the oil drain hoses already installed. All I had to do was connect them to my homemade manifold.

    One of my fuel senders died over the winter. Almost half a boat buck with shipping from ISSPRO :/

    WoW! I don’t remember paying that much. I think I was able to get mine pretty cheap from Great Lake Skipper . I had to replace my port sender a couple years ago.

    Gotta pay to play I suppose. Good support from them at least.

    New fuel sender is in and I’m back in business. Still waiting for spring to arrive.

    I installed about 80 of them this winter.  Only had two leak -- user error, I didn't push them in far enough.  
    PSA - had a Sharkbite fail. I knew one was failing because my pump was cycling every 15 mins or so. Finally got the time to track it down. Recut the PEX to see if that would solve the drip but no dice.

    Interesting @YYZRC.  So cutting the PEX didn't work and you had to replace the fitting?

    YYZRC, what symptoms did you have of your failing Isspro fuel sender ? I am getting an intermittent fault code “ high fuel level input “ and my gauge drops to empty . This cycles several times and then seems to correct itself.  Thanks.

    @LaRea yes I had to replace. The original cut wasn't perfectly square so perhaps when I inserted it I damaged the o-ring.

    @goalie59 the gauge would just work intermittently and then not at all. No fault code in my case.
