Barbara,
I just ordered and installed a new set of O-rings for the inspection ports on my water tanks, since most
of them leaked when the tanks were filled to the top. My salon tanks have three inspection ports each,
but only one per tank is accessible through the slide-out plywood bunk extension piece. In other words,
when you lift the settee cushion you only see one access port, reached through holes cut in the plywood
covers. However, removing the slide-out plywood pieces covering the salon tanks (underneath the settee
cushions) reveals two more inspection ports per tank, one for each baffled compartment of the tank. If
your boat also has these check them for leaks around the screw-out center piece. If they’re leaking,
replace the O-rings on all the ports on all tanks.
My inspection ports were all made by Beckson Marine, http://www.beckson.com . I think they call them “deck
plates.” Beckson was quick and reasonably priced about sending new O-rings. To order by phone, call Cindy
at 203-333-1412 to order.
Good luck,
Tor
