Boat Stuff 2016 242 shower tank setup.

[BareHand42Style]

Hi all. I'll be removing my whole fresh water tank and shower head set up this weekend to install a compressor in its place. I'm keeping the hardware for the opening on the swim platform cause that's where the air house will come out from. Was wondering if anybody had any interest in taking it off my hands. I live in Connecticut so shipping might be a factor in this. I'm not giving it away, but not looking to get rich either. So if you have interest, let me know and let the bidding begin lol

 

[blacksapphirez]

not me but for those interested... will you be including switches and wiring also?

 

[2nazt]

I'm interested in what all is included for this? How large is the tank? Pump still operational? I'm kinda wanting to install a freshwater wash down on my boat. Thanks in advance. I'm in FL but unsure how heavy it all is and dimensions. Thanks in advance.

 

[BareHand42Style]

Its off a connext system boat. Yes it's all operational. No you won't have a switch due to me not giving you my connext. I used it one time last year when I bought the boat brand new and never used it again. I'll take pics of everything when I get it out tomorrow. It's off a 2016 242 limited s e series. Im not sure on dimensions or capacity. I'm sure it's listed on yamahas website as far as capacity.

I couldn't stop laughing with not giving you my connext comment haha. I didn't realize it was built in as I only had a AR230, and now have a CC. Once you have it out and pics listed I'll be a little bit more ready to jump on it.

@Julian do you by chance know the capacity of the freshwater, on the website it just states that it has it. Thank you

 

[BareHand42Style]

Lol, I figured

I don't have anything in writing, but there is a reference here that says it is a 10 gallon tank (from 2014).

That is all I could find on Yamaha Parts site also for a kit they have. Thank you!

I wanna say it's either 10 or 25 gallons. I can't remember. I have a 18' cc and a 32' bertram as well and their is way to many tank volumes to remember between the 3 boats

 

[Mainah]

5-10 gallons sounds right to me based upon eyeball dimensions of the the tank. One way to know for sure it to fill it from a hose and then empty into 5 gallon bucket. Any buyers will need to provide a switch (wires are there for it) and the deck hatch for the sprayer. Tank has a tie down strap. I would say the weight with pump, tank, sprayer would be 10 to 15 lbs and the box would need to be about 2ft cubed for shipping. Shipping won't be cheap.

 

[2nazt]

If your guess is right than it would be about $95-110 dollars. Ouch

 

[Bryan Martini]

Im from CT would possibly be interested in the setup any pics yet

You would need a fill hull connection as well as a vent hull connection. Then a fitting from the output of the pump hose to connect it to the shower hose. Yamaha used a bulk head connection and it was impossible for me to remove do to its location. Either buy the yamaha one or just piece something together from Hardware store. No big deal

 

[Mainah]

Nice! So what are the dimensions of the tank? We can figure out tank volume and get closer on shipping with that. I forgot about the fill and breather. The breather is just a standstd through hull like for a bilge pump and the fill is Just a garden hose connection.

The primary reason I am removing mine is to install ballast. That will allow me to use the through hull breather from the tank for my ballast vent on that side. It will still be a bit before I get around to mine.

ill measure it after i drink my coffee. I also moved the batterys back towards the stern about 3 feet. I thought about making that sliding tray but figured i rarely undo my terminals so id deal with the hassle of unhooking if i had to. It was easy, i had extra battery leads from my polaris ranger when i installed a new whinch on it. I just opened up the battery selector switch, removed the short positive terminals and added the longer leads to both the house and starter selectors. negative leads were plenty long enough. I then resecured the battery trays where i wanted them and called it a day. Way more room now on both rear seat compartments

 

[BareHand42Style]

1x1x1.5

Thanks for taking the measurements. 2592 cubic inches = 11.22 gallons. Given the rounded corners, the strap indent, and wall thickness, I would call that a 10 gallon tank. You may be able to fit all of that in a 20inx18inx 14in box with room for padding so shipping might be cheaper.

Same here. The batteries are moved all the way to the stern. I have 4 batteries now ( 2 regular and 2 deep cycle). That should be plenty of power and backup.

@BareHand42Style
