Potable water tank on a 530 Voyager

Post by 2000carver »

We have 2 potable water tanks on this boat, however when I fill it up only one tank fills. Ant ideas on how to fill the second tank?

I don't have a voyager, but if you have two tanks, you most likely have two separate deck fill ports.

On the voyager 450 there are two tanks (out board of the engines) - single deck fill and the two tanks are connected together via pipes. I have never investigated how they are connected but we just have one fill that properly fills both tanks.

That's correct, one fill on stbd side. There is a crossover pipe thats not easy to access. I would check the vent on the empty tank. Possibly clogged not allowing the air out so the water can cross over.

I second Alaska 530 , we had issues filling the 2 tanks on our 3607. Cleaned out the vent lines and things went much better.
