Hello all. I have a water leak at the outlet, friction welded 1/2" fitting on the main water tank. I have had a look at deconstructing the woodwork (bed) above the tank and it appears they used a very effective glue. Any deconstruction will in stead be a demolition. I am not sure I have the stomach for that job, and wonder if,....with one good 50 gallon tank, a water maker might work just as well? This is the boat that we rebuilt from sunken state, that we made lighter, by doing without a generator, washer dryer, ice maker, stock houshold stereo, ice maker, microwave etc. in addition we used little 110 hp yanmar engines. Losing 200 gallons of water and adding a water maker should net another 1800 lbs of weight loss. Anyone have some experience with a water maker? Is 50 gallons a big enough reservoir? Any thoughts on the most bullet proof water maker available? We have freshwater toilets, but they can also use seawater. Don't seem to spend more than 3 days on the hook, at a sitting, and seem to have to charge batteries about every second day at most. Since then we have changed out all lighting to LEDs Water is diesel, and engine heated, stove is propane. Pretty frugal with water in the first place. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
