Is a big tank a problem?

摘要

I want to own my own boat and live aboard, mooring for up to 14 days. I am considering a larger than prefabricated integrated fresh water tank. Are there are any pitfalls with regard to this freezing in winter? A.R. PUMFRETT, via email A Even on the Scottish canals, the ice is only inches thick, rather than feet, so the lower part of the hull will sit in water that is a little above freezing. That heat will be conducted through the hull into the water so helping to prevent it freezing.
