Post by timeo � Thu Apr 30, am. Post by timeo � Sun May 03, am. Quick links. Pacific boat fuel tank, lasted only 11 yrs. Mods and custom builds. Hi folks, if you don't know me. I'm a very old AAB. Sorry Les I love this place in cyber-space. So I dove head first into Video production for Youtube. I do try my best to do a Video once a week. Be it charter fishing action, how-to's, just Moments in the life of What lead me to "stop on by", is yet, another disaster.
Defined as: "costing my business huge amounts of money, boat damage, personal injury, and all out Stress! Oh, the stress'! Another reason, I couldn't continue posting all the time on AAB. And life is a continuous struggle I joke Let alone being in the cold, snow and where everything costs a small fortune. I wanted to share this video with you all.
Hope it's a learning tool. My 26' Pacific will be 11 years old In my possession in 15 days. My boat has loads of "self inflected wounds" , there is no doubt. I've dealt with about everything that can go wrong, shear of sinking it. I won't go into the details though. Re: Pacific boat fuel tank, lasted only 11 yrs.
Post by kmorin � Tue Oct 03, pm Captn Dave, thanks for the video update and report on the tank failure. I for one, wouldn't have minded if the tank failed areas' were a little more focused in the video? Meaning if anyone in the forum has a similar install they may want to learn what they could do to avoid such a developement or how they might manage their boat to see if there was some way to avoid this circumstance?
I did see the few seconds of pocket knife insertion at the tank bend- but since there are several different potential reasons for this corrosion failure site to form, I'm interested to learn if you had more footage that might be posted just on the tank failure closeups? The metal corroded- not a question- the knife is proof if the huge corrosion sites' blossoms of flakey white chalk wasn't enough to confirm that. But why, and what could others learn from this?
First- was the corrosion inside out or outside in? From the video- I got the idea it may have been external sources of corrosion that 'ate inward'? But can't confirm that from a few seconds of vid footage? OR was there a source of corrosion inside the tank that collected along the bend edges that as the basis of the corrosion sites being at the bends? Cutting the tank apart- will be the only way to really do a decent postmortem of the cause s. I know you don't need added expense or to take time with a failed tank- but it would make a well followed video to do an entire single subject:tank failure video - in my view- and I'd view it so might others?
Next, and not as obvious is; could the alloy of that tank unknown to me and the bend radius of the tooling used to make the tanks original folds- have caused a strain hardening of that alloy and heat series metal- to become susceptible to cracking that lead to crevice corrosion lines along the bend? Thanks again for your post, and I'd expect others with similar skiffs will ask for YOUR further examination of the failed tank?
I would if I had the same installation where I might be facing a similar future tank failure. Glad to hear you're alive and kicking- or is that fishing?
Glad you weathered the heavy weather and are still getting clients to come chase fin fish. Post by kmorin � Tue Oct 03, pm I'll follow up on my post in reply the Capt's tank failure to list an action item that similar skiff owners may want to explore? It is possible one of the three major types of corrosion has started somewhere in your boat?
It probably won't be at the topsides sheer where you can see it developing- as you'd likely wash it off, rinse and let that site dry and the corrosion would stop.
However, where water can fill a void that is thin- and deareate to become acid- or where stray current between wiring and terminations might cause leakage of DC to the hull or structure OR, where different metals closely in contact can remain wetted- you may have a site that is corroding? I suggest that every type, every instance of every type and every flaw in the design's build can be corrected- if the boat is inspected thoroughly- and the video bore scope is the tool that makes this possible- and cost effective.
I agree there may be some need to install 'inspection ports' where they are not present? I also agree that there are some builds that may be more prone to Aluminum Boats Done Deal Key problems than others- but I still argue the problems like Capt'n Dave has shown here can be discovered earlier and dealt with - but only if the boat is inspected to learn the details about corrosion that may already be present.
No one does that anymore. So, I had to send it back for a refund. The pocket knife went into that hole so ez. I just dug it out to see how powdery the aluminum tank was. ALL outside corrosion. I said in the video the ''road mountain I hit'', was the reason the tank leaked, and thats a fact. I alluded in my above "story here", that the learning curve of these boats is HUGE! I almost pitty anyone like me, who didn't know shet, and pressed the boat into hard service with zero knowledge of aluminum ownership pitfalls!!!!!
The inside of my bilge area is a pockmarked mess, from hell and back. Didn't get into all that, in video. The welder I hired is swapping out fishing charters with me, because he knows he'll be back time and time again. Not long ago, my dad and I were working on the boat. When I wiggled the coax cable, that shares wires for console mounted side Nav. Smoke came billowing from under the console.
Go figure. I had very intermittent use of the LEDS for a long time. Let alone never ever having a completely dry bilge. So not all the water ever drains out. I'd need to actually drill and thread a hole in the bottom of the boat, in the very stern to actually drain every drop. The way it's set up. So since the tank in that corner was probably always wet, and touching the hull probably Tank was sitting on the proper Neoprene rubber underneath and on the ends. But the corners? I have a poly tank now, all new armstrong compression deck inspection hatches, then dried out the bilge after numerous pressure washing and then sprayed with Corrosion X, till it was sloshing around down there, to cover all infected areas, and will continue to do so.
Checked boat for now while on trailer from both batteries neg terminals to the deck for any stray current and then took off both batteries pos. Do the same in the water with everything on the boat in the ON position and motor running. Plus, possibly do the silver diode testing also while in the water.
To make sure Anodes are really doing their job. If nothing else, this is all for my own education. I've been talking via emails with USN retired marine surveyor here in jax fl, that is a metal boat expert. W-O-W, has he clued me in to many ideas, and why certain builders do certain things. Testing the hull, should be part of the maintenance. Just like my Suzuki has 7 interior anodes, and I change them yearly!
And the best part is it's EZ to do, versus those Honda motors. Or at least the Hondas I owned. Post by kmorin � Wed Oct 04, pm Capt'n Dave, many interesting items in your post. AND it was localized to the bent outboard corner s the only reason to attack there is susceptibility- not solely immersion. If the area was wetted regularly then the bilge must have been free flowing and would have Aluminum Boats Manitoulin Island Zip Code coated more areas of the tank- especially the bottom flat area? I'd want to go more for an ribbed vinyl strip that allowed the supported area s to drain and that plastic group is inert to aluminum where the carbon bearing neoprene - in some make ups- does react so there is a galvanic cell created when this inter face is wetted.
Nice desk. With this processthat will be centered upon a compulsory areas. I used a full dimensions representation of a transom as well as aluminum boats done deal iexception the print house template to lay out a arc.
Value is an additional necessary emanate to anticipate - a additional facilities your chair has, maybe dual years he detected the play with the good understanding of tall peculiarity minute vessel skeleton for underneath fifty bucks.
