My 34 had a triangular plastic tank in the bow, which I replaced.  Although it 
was an unusual shape, Ronco had a nearly perfect replacement.

Joe,

 

Touche' does not have a tank in the bow.  That area is pretty much open with no 
structure forward of the V-Berth step other than the anchor locker bulkhead.  
Suspect the tank is not structural.

 

Touche's water tank was under the aft seat of the dinette forward of the half 
bulkhead.  It may have been similar to your tank.  It was fiberglass with a 
riveted on top.  Lots of rivets.

 

I replaced it with a 26 gallon rectangular Plastimo flexible tank in the same 
location.  Very pleased.  Easy to remove it every spring and clean it on the 
dock.

 

You have often espoused flexible tank usage in aircraft.  Would you consider a 
triangular flexible tank in the bow?  A sistership here in my marina has a 
flexible wastewater tank in that location.

Anyone else have a water tank in the bow?

Mine is leaking, the bolts through the side of it leak and the wood that holds 
the internal baffle that the bolts are there for is coming apart.

Now I need to get the 120 or so bolts off the top to fix it.
