Glad I could help. Just a disclaimer, I made my own tank mounts from 1/4 in ply and 6 oz glass and glassed the mounts into the locations. The plastic tanks are not direct factory replacements as my tanks were made of fiberglass and glassed to the hull and had to be cut out, but they are close enough.
However if I had to do it again, I'd have a 1/2" outlet in the top of the tank, and pass the 1/2" pex into the tank as a pickup tube. The Starboard side worked fine as per my drawings, but the port side was hard to get to the connection and I had to feed the water line to the locker under the stove where the sea water foot pump is located.
Wasn't a big deal to me, but if you aren't someone that likes to do fiberglass work, I suggest you do the pickup tube instead.
I also used a reducer on the 3/4 in vents to 1/2 in. and a 1-1/2" cap with 1 in elbow to hook up the fill line, as the 1-1/2" elbow was too tight under the settee lid.
Over all it worked fine and I'm happy with it. The changes above are minor but will make life a little easier. The bow tank was fine and I didn't need to change anything.
Attached are updated drawing. If you choose to go with Ronco, They were easy to deal with, and did a great job. I had the tanks delivered to the marina, because they only delivered to business addresses.
Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.
Attached is the modification.
