There actually are two
water tanks of equal volumes, but only the one fill. The other tank is located inboard of the port side book case in the fwd
cabin. I was able to drop the bookcase to
route the
watermaker supply line into that tank and it works fine.
Another thing that works for us is the rain catchment system that FP did not tell us about....if you look at the 'eyebrow' that overhangs the
salon window, you will notice there is a gutter that routes
water to the back of the
mast. We took an old milk carton, added a hose bib, duck taped it into place behind the
mast and routed the hose to the
deck fill over the stb tank. You may find you cannot rely on the 'gauge, it gets hung up so turn it off and on and it should be reliable.
We had to ask the same questions when we bought our
Lipari 3 years ago....still
learning...
