Kevin, When we cleaned out Calypso's tank it was a combo of a fuel polishing service, pressure wash with fuel when the polishing equipment was alongside, and hand wipe down through two access ports.
We did pull out several pieces of debris from the past and completed a visual inspection through the access ports. I will not be attending the Bainbridge Island Safety at Sea seminar as I completed one a few years back. I enjoyed the seminar and recommend them for those that have not already been through similar training. For me it was a good refresher for my merchant mariner's training and 50K offshore miles experience. For Calypso's co-owner there was some excellent information presented and a chance to fire off some flares. Calypso is now under its winter work cover and I will be onboard most Saturday afternoons. If you find yourself near Shilshole Bay Marina on a Saturday afternoon stop by.

There are no problems that I know of, but since the boat is still new to us, it is on my list of preventative maintenance tasks. I admit that I have not had time to dig on web sites to see others approach, but I am planning on sucking out what is left with an oil changer and then doing my best to physically wipe the inside clean. Would you suggest anything else? Best, Kevin Are others attending the Safety at Sea Seminar on Bainbridge Island in February? My wife and I are and will be staying on someone's boat in the harbor. It would be nice to connect with C&C owners while there.
