Albin 40 Trawler

• Fuel unknown
  “two 160 gallon side tanks and one 80 gallon center (day) tank” — search excerpt, albinowners.net · “400 gallons of fuel” — search excerpt (1980 (listed as Albin 40 Trawler)), boattrader.com · “Fuel: 250 US Gal each, 500 US Gal Total – 2 tanks” — broker listing (1987), mapleleafyachtsales.com
  An owner in the Albin Owners Group describes tanks of 160, 160 and 80 gal, 400 in all, matching our earlier figure; a 1987 double-cabin listing describes two 250 gal tanks (500). The trawler, double-cabin and sundeck layouts may differ, and there's no builder document.
• Water 180 gal
  “Fresh Water: 180 US Gal – 2 aluminum tanks” — broker listing (1987), mapleleafyachtsales.com · “220 gallons of water” — search excerpt (1980), boattrader.com
  A 1987 listing supports 180 gal; a listing dated 1980 says 220, possibly for a different Albin 40 variant. There's no builder source.
• Holding 50 gal
  “50Gal Holding” — broker listing (1987), mapleleafyachtsales.com · “a 50-gallon holding tank” — search excerpt (1980), boattrader.com
  Two listings agree with our earlier figure of 50 gal; there's no builder source.
• Water heater unknown
  No builder document, review or listing with a heater size found.

Tanks are often replaced or added on older boats — check the tank labels or a survey for yours.

• Bow thruster often added later
  “1987 Albin 40 Double Cabin Flybridge Trawler | 135Hp Ford Lehman Diesel | Bow & Stern Thruster” — search excerpt (1987), mapleleafyachtsales.com · “Albin Yachts 40 Trawler ... New Hydraulic steering. 2 years ago. Bow Thruster” — search excerpt, boats-boats-boats.com
  Two separate boats for sale carry bow thrusters, and no builder document was found. The 1987 boat's YachtWorld listing is the same boat.
• Stern thruster unknown
  The 1987 boat with a bow thruster also has a stern thruster, and an Albin Owners Group member reports a hydraulic Dickson stern thruster added by a previous owner on a single-engine 1983 Albin 40 trunk cabin (possibly a different 40 variant). That isn't enough to say how they were fitted.
• Steering hydraulic
  “I have no steering on the upper helm in my Albin 40 trawler. ... I'm not sure of the brand of steering but it had a cyli” — owners' association, albinowners.net · “I have the "Capilano" system which has an adjusting knob below the wheel. (owner of a 1983 Albin 40 trunk cabin)” — owners' association (1983), albinowners.net
  Albin Owners Group members report two-station hydraulic steering on their 40s (reservoir behind lower helm); one 1983 owner's Hynautic Capilano with adjustable stroke is too few to set a brand. Our earlier 1987-93 twin-engine 40 Trawler may be confused with the older single-engine 40 trunk cabin/double cabin; the 1987 listing has one Ford Lehman.

Thrusters and steering are often replaced — check the units on your boat before ordering parts.
