S22 True Blue Got Ballast

DEFINITELY take pics, very interested. Hard tanks are the best. Not as much weight, but that's what people are for!

Sounds sweet.  I put the thru hull raw water intake on port side next to the vdrive unit.  bout 10 inches infront of the engine intake.  I used a flush pickup and not a scoop since it was in front of the engine intake.

I'm going to run 2 pumps should I put the pick ups one next the other ,or one behind the other.how far apart as to not weaken an area of the hull?  any ideas? or just space them one on either side of the V.Tried the pumps with a 55 gallon drum pumped 43 gallons in 4 minutes with the 2 pumps thats 86 gallons in 4 minutes.pumps in reverse a little quicker.also found gauges for the tank levels. I'll take pictures once I get started.

You only need one thru hull, I used the forward bilge drain. It is up behind the tracking fin on my E22. I'll take a look at the SX when it gets here MONDAY NITE!!

I used one intake for both pumps.  I think it was a 1 1/8" pickup.

Brent did you use a thru hull with a seacock

[blindside]

yep, put the seacock on top the thru hull.

[PSullivan3]

 Its a one piece

[blindside]

I used a straight thru-hull (with no pickup scoop) and a valve screwed on top of the thru-hull

I'm going with a  bronze perko 1 piece with a 90 on top, everything has arrived and then I realized I forgot the seacock. I'm trying find a gauge for the tanks but the sending units are all for gas. Have you seen anything like that.

I'm going with a leopard pattern Calvin Klein one piece with a french cut on the sides. I'm not sure whether or not it will hold the petcock in place but at least it will provide for easy realease for gas. Anyone tried anything like that?

[Bitzco]

So many funny boating terms and pieces don't you think?

[cyclone]

If you want, tomorrow I'll get the part number of the sender for an SX, it's in the rear storage. It looks identical to the one on the gas tank.
