Water tank guage

My intention had been to remove and clean the water tanks and fit a new depth gauge. So I removed all the nuts and tried lifting the cover.

No way on earth was this going to move - the bolts had nicely corroded themselves to the metal panel. Hence it would require manufacturing a new panel to remove it.

Taking photos inside the tank showed that the tank was actually amazingly clean, so other than a small amount of cleaning I left it as it is, and will check water purity some time in the future.

The depth gauge mounted easily and works well. Shows up how we need to repaint the bilges with bilge paint sometime.
