10. Fire Extinguisher Location & Function
The owner is required to purchase an approved fire extinguisher. The fire extinguisher shall be approved by the
U.S. Coast Guard and classified as B-I or B-II.
11. Fuel System
The 30 Express is equipped with a primary fuel tank located in the center of the stringers and is accessible through
two ports in the floor of the deck. The forward port located between the pilot seat and the passenger wrap-
around seat allows access to the fill and vent hoses. The aft port located in the center of the deck in front of the
livewell tank allows access to the sending unit and sensors. The main fuel tank has a capacity of 223 gallons. The
fuel fill and vent hoses run from the forward end of the tank to the starboard and port sides and connect to the
fuel fills located on and centered in the port and starboard recesses on the gunwale. The 30 Express also provides
an auxiliary fuel tank located in front of the motors beneath the deck and can be accessed through the access
hatch in front of the motors. This tank is divided in to two separate compartments one side holds 50 gallons of
additional gasoline and the other side holds 10 gallons of diesel for the generator. The forward side of the tank is
for gasoline; the fill hose goes to the starboard side and goes to the auxiliary fuel fill located in starboard gunwale
aft of the aft rod/cup holder. The aft side of the tank is for diesel fuel, and the fill hose to the port side goes to the
diesel fill located in the port gunwale just aft of the aft rod/cup holder.
12. Freshwater system
The freshwater system is in the forward bilge area. Access to the freshwater tank is through an access door
located under the sleeping berth. The freshwater tank has a capacity of 24 gallons. The freshwater pump is
mounted on the forward wall of the generator liner, and the fill and vent hoses run from the tank along the port
stringer to the water fill. The freshwater fill is located on the aft wall of the passenger seat. The transom shower
hose runs from the pump to the starboard stringer then tees and runs forward and aft through the starboard
rigging pipe. The aft hose connects to the transom shower. The transom shower is in the starboard wall aft of the
transom door and below the gunwale. The forward hose at the tee runs to the shower located in the cabin on the
starboard wall.
