I recently purchased a 1990 Sea Ranger 46 aft cabin (King Yachts version) and working through the usual sorting out issues you would find on a 30 year old boat.
The water tanks, one 800 litre under the aft cabin berth and a 700 litre running between and under the engines (3208 NA Cats) are coughing and spluttering through sink fawcets when the tanks are 2/3's full, but once refilled again, flow properly?!
The aft tank sits higher than the engine room tank, both the discharge pipes join at a T fitting and then into the pump.
The boat has only been used lightly and in calm waters for the last 23 years by the PO, last weekend we had her rolling in a beam/quartering sea and noticed the fresh water flushing toilet had dirty water coming through the system.
Could this mean a sediment blockage somewhere?
Anybody else encountered this problem before?
Cheers SB
