Athena

Hey there folks, wondering if there is an inspection port on my Athena water tank...unfortunately a brass fitting was dropped in the fill hole so I have to try to retrieve it as I am worried about electrolysis....many thanks for any feedback

Re: Athena

The tank top is very close to the deck and I am pretty sure there is no inspection hatch. You have to remove the plywood panel in each fore cabin just to get access to the tank side.
Your best bet is to get an inspection camera and a flexible grabber that you can pick the fitting up and remove it. USB cameras with illumination are cheap and small enough to tie wrap just behind the end of the grabber. Good luck as you do need to remove it!
