Hi all,
I want to add a 20 gal bait tank in front of the center console. How does your pluming run especially the drain or overflow line run? below deck? 20 gal @ 7 lbs = 140 lbs. Is this to heavy for the front bow of the 18 CC?

thanks

Thank you Kandil. I see the In line and the overflow drain. Does the tank drain to the overflow line?

If you look at the second photo at the bottom right you will see the drain line and it has a 5/8" plug on the inside of the tank and I think it drains at the rear next to the pickup line photo #1 I think.but I don't know if it is connected to the over flow I have to see it in action but most likely it is connected to it and that will act as a vent when you drain it like the bathtub I can not see under the floor and it is freezing out there I can not test it sorry I have not used it yet the boat is new to me have you used yours and how do you like it what motor you have?
