Great vid champion. Tondy’s looking better all the time. Good to see the leaks getting fixed. Good to know where the leaks are coming from and slowly getting them sorted. 😃👍
Leaks are a problem which never go completely away but can be brought under some control. You must be very persistent though. The worst problem I've had to face, was a badly leaking diesel tank. This required lifting the plywood sole in the galley and cutting the hull liner beneath it. Then cutting the 90 gallon aluminum tank into sections in order to lift them through the main companion way. A truly terrible project to be sure. I found the bottom of the old tank nearly touching the bottom of the bilge and sitting in bilge water (I wanted to shoot the marine architect). I hope you won't ever have to face such a mess (but you probably will).

Thanks mate , I need to fly a mini drone around inside. How cool would that look. One day maybe.

Yes I'm just hoping my tank lasts long enough for me to be able to choose the date for removal!
