fresh water

Hey, new owner of a 1995 Beneteau Farr 50 here. When filling my four fresh water tanks, the top tray of the water tanks fill with water and, if left overflowing at the hose deck fill, will flood the bilge as well. Has anyone else had this issue? The clamshell tank vents don't ever seem to flow...

Where can I find a replacement flexible tank for my First 305 ? The original bladder outlet fitting has broken. It fits under the port settee and is approx. 22" x 56". That's about the max size to fit there. I'd previously added a triangular bladder under the V-berth for extra capacity. I've...

I know FriscoRon has a recent post about fresh water pressure issues but my problem is a bit different and I don't want to hijack his thread. When I bought our '79 Rafiki 35 last year, it had an ancient belt driven fresh water pressure pump that would cycle on frequently if it had power. When...
