Jeff, it's just a single boat buck! I actually think you're getting a good deal, mine was $750 for a 19 gallon aluminum tank in 2016...We got the quote. $1150. Gulp. - But, we're going to proceed. "The bends are rather complex." This price includes inspection ports. .125 aluminum.
The vertical float on a spiral strip is what I'm looking at Christian. I wondered if it would get stuck more than the floating arm style. Have you had good experience with it?The floating-arm style gauge I bought wouldn't fit in my boat because the arm hit a baffle. I went with a similar model in which the float rises and falls vertically, and doesn;t need "room."
Before ordering, probably wait to have the tank in hand, since depth of tank and location of baffles can matter.
$1.15BB sounds a lot better, doesn't it? (Do I recall correctly, it's Doug?) And with your price, I feel a little less bad about our quote.Jeff, it's just a single boat buck! I actually think you're getting a good deal, mine was $750 for a 19 gallon aluminum tank in 2016...
After I had it made and installed I thought I should have specified a drainage port at the front bottom of the tank so I could easily drain any sludge or water out. I'm not sure if this is up to ABYC spec but I would certainly draw a little sample out every so often if I had such a thing.
