So the previous owner installed a water tank, well not fully, it's in the boat just not hooked up to anything. I was thinking of using it more as a ballast since the starboard fuel tank has never been hooked up and running at a gallon an hour I don't really have a use for it. Thus 150 gallons of fuel sitting on one side of the boat creates a bit of a list.
My questions are:
1) Is there an efficient way to create a new deck fill to fill the tank?
2) I don't want to use a thru hull just above the water line with a pump for a drain, would there be a better way to drain it without a thru hull and pump?
3) The tanks been sitting for a few years so may have to be cleaned out, what product do you suggest to do so?
4) Should I also put in a vent since there will water sitting for a period of time?

Thanks!
