@houseboatholly: I honestly thought the tank was going to split or something!! The scary thing about boat ownership and working on things yourself is that you are completely responsible if anything goes wrong and there’s no backup plan. I was so concerned I wouldn’t have anywhere to live if this went wrong! In hindsight I was probably being a bit dramatic, but hearing the fibreglass creak and crack was really scary. #houseboat #renovation #alternateliving #boatlife #liveaboard

Honestly, you have done no harm. I worked on a search and rescue boat, and we used to fill up water, until it came out of the top. 👌

You can't make the tank explode because there is no actual pressure, the filling cap is an open connection.

I have to take my boat for a ride every 6 weeks to refill my water tanks. I got 2 tanks. They always make cracking noises when they are filled. My previous boats did the same. I don't have a meter, always fill until the water comes out. I don't think the cracking noises will cause any harm.

I’m confused 🤔 it’s designed to take water and you didn’t mention any warnings on the boat claiming it can’t be filled up to the top so what led you to the conclusion it would break ? Wouldn’t it take considerable amount of water to sink the boat ? If the water in the tank was heavy enough to sink the boat the boat would be sunk every time you fill it up ?

You should be able to fill it up till it comes out of the overflow. If you are worried that it might leak (as mine does) check that your bilge pump is working on manual and on auto this will help you sleep at night knowing that you won’t sink.

Why not put a plastic bag over the house nozzle to protect it from the mud?

It’s actually a good way to flush the tank to get rid of any unwanted debris in there.
