If I am reading the photo correctly, it is in a kind of sketchy location on top of the shaft log?? Also, don't like those perforated hose clamps either.

so yes, i guess my tanks are reversed, from the drawing, but if there was never a soft bladder, from catalina, then i guess there's no way of knowing why the valves were reversed, or even why the hard tank, in the aft, was changed out.  can someone send me a picture of their hard aft tank?  it seems like a 40 gallon hard tank would take up a lot of space, as opposed to the bladder.

thanks

Strange - tooks like maybe there's 2 + 2?   Shaft log clamps appear to be good solid-type (awab brand?) clamps and the two fwd clamps appear to be crappy perforated-type?  becki, suggest you make sure that both are non-perforated type.

are they both in the wall?  my drawing, from catalina, shows the tank i have, about where it is, i think and my diesel tank is in the port side wall of the aft berth

Both are behind bulkheads (walls).

Sorry, I can't explain it any better and I don't know what your boat configuration is. However, I would be very surprised if any "drawing from Catalina" shows a bladder tank placed as yours is. Perhaps some else can chime in.

My 1986, #86, has the aft tank on the starboard side under the main salon settee.  My forward tank is in the v-berth.  Nothing in the aft cabin.

Your "aft" tank is my "forward" tank.

My 87 looks similar to Noah's photo. I might have missed it, but what do you have behind the aft removable panel in the aft cabin? Wondering if you have a second fuel tank? Jon W.

as far as i knew, just the diesel tank.  but i haven't looked back there, recently.  and that's interesting about a tank in the main salon.  i just have my bilge there and open space, with the holding tank taking up half of the port side, main salon storage.

All : The 1986 C34 came with starboard and  Vberth water tanks.  All subsequent C34s came with starboard and aft lazerette water tanks.
