Mine definitely is not routed like that. It is attached to what I’m describing as a bolt in the splash well and on the exterior all I can see is the head of a bolt that has been painted.

Do you have a photo of yours so I can see how this should be installed?

What was the product name for the no-rot board? I may have to do some deck repair on an older Outrage. Most of the Marine Ply is in good shape and I had intended to add Epoxy around the edges to ensure it is well sealed but found one area that felt like more attention may be needed. Luckily, it sits...

[Thread moved to SMALL BOAT ELECTRICAL for discussion.] In my Outrage 22, the bonding circuit connects to a bolt in the stern splash well. On the outboard side of the hull the head of the bolt was painted over when the bottom was epoxy coated. I'm guessing that is bad and probably the reason my meta...

I really wanted a poly tank for my Outrage 22. To get a custom tank made, the initial $3,000 to $10,000 cost of the mold has to be absorbed.

A few weeks back I inquired in a posting if there was any interest but didn't get a response.

Spc337

Looks nice. Even has a pump installed from what I can see. Any idea who makes that tank? I doubt it fits my cavity but anything is worth a try to avoid aluminum again.

Spc337

Has anyone [installed a fuel tank without foam to surround the fuel tank]? [Are there any] photos of how the work was completed? I'm back and forth on foam and partial foam--that is, foam in the corners for stability. Also on adding a drain. And also on figuring out how to install in a cradle of som...

[Separated from a thread on another topic and moved here.--jimh] I'm at the early stages of a tank replacement project. I'm sure I will need to do some gel coat repair. I'm new to working with gel coat resin and epoxy resin. I am looking forward to learning how to properly apply them. The repairs wi...

I just lifted the super console [on a Boston Whaler Outrage 22] and noticed what I believe to be indications that this boat had a different console at some point. Any clues? More curiosity than anything else. I will want to fill the old openings to eliminate the obvious water intrusion opportunities...

Spc337

Here is the cavity with the fuel tank mostly out. I now need to figure out how to remove the remaining foam and clean everything. Any recommendations?

Spc337

Here is a picture of the Bonding wire.. It ran from the Ground Bus Bar to the tank. From this point, individual wires ran to the Pickup and Fuel Filler (not the vent - not sure if that matters) and a wire running out to the stern. I need to check where that wire goes. Is this the proper way to bond ...

Fuel Tank Replacement Project continues. I was finally able to remove the rigging from the console and remove it from the deck. I slid it to the bow and removed the guts so I can sit in the forward well with easy access to rewire. With the Deck lifted, I finally had easy access to the tank. The tank...

To move to dual batteries, I'm planning to use a [Blue Sea Systems] "Add a Battery Kit" product. The "Add a Battery Kit" packaging has a battery switch and an automatic combiner relay.

My boat already had the tank replaced 10 years ago with a new aluminum FMT tank. I’m assuming it replaced an original FMT but who knows. Moeller is pretty difficult to deal with and they will not modify the fittings which seems like a restrictive manufacturing process and lost opportunity. I haven’t...

It was detonated less than a mile from my house. Despite claims it was inert, the explosives used shook my house. We had no warning so I thought either a large tree just fell or a propane tank blew. Eventually the local news and island Facebook page started to light up with what had happened. The mi...

Spc337

Here is the 69-gallon tank I was referring too.. Assuming the fittings cannot be modified, the filler is pointed the wrong direction to install towards the bow. I guess I could install it with the filler towards the stern will a longer fill hose. The port rigging tunnel would then have a real purpos...

Spc337

I wouldn't install a pump in the cavity itself since these will need to be serviceable.. I would simply secure a hose to the stern end of the cavity and locate the pump either near the console or as Jim suggested use a selector to leverage an existing pump to handle both locations. There is always a...

Spc337

All of my hoses are Trident. A1-15 from tank to engine (it does travel under the deck for a few feet) replacing some B1 Gray hose from prior owner. A2 1.5" Filler Hose (Couldn't find A1 rated). This is a beast of a hose and just makes the 90deg turn within the space allowed. A1 - Vent Hose. In ...

Spc337

I should also mention that I did find a 69gallon tank that might fit. I would sacrifice 8 gallons to get a plastic tank for $600. I'm investigating if the fittings can be relocated without a tooling cost. Aside from the molded filler, I think they can put the fittings where needed after they make th...

Spc337

That is my question as well. I didn't ask it yet but wanted to gauge interest first. My guess, if I were Moeller, they would "own" the mold. What I'm hoping to be able to demonstrate is some additional demand for this tank and then figure out if Moeller would share in the costs so the init...

Spc337

I spoke with Moeller Tanks today. Tooling for a custom tank would run $3,000 to $10,000, Obviously as an individual buyer that is [not a feasible cost to undertake]. However, if there is enough interest from the community, we can figure out a more economical plan leveraging volume purchases. Of cour...

Sadly, I’ve confirm my recently purchased OUTRAGE 22 has a bad fuel tank despite being replace in 2007 with a Florida Marine Tanks (FMT) OEM tank. 1a.jpg 2a.jpg Now I need to find a replacement tank.

[I am surprised] [MOELLER] does’t have the Tempo mold. Anyway, [a new mold] would have to be custom [made]. [I am] trying to figure out what [MOELLER] would charge to make [a new plastic fuel tank from a custom made mold]. [I replaced text for "they" and "it' above as best I could wit...

Spc337

I’m trying to reach [TEMPO or MOELLER]. I’ll tell [TEMPO or MOELLER] there is a potential for at least two tanks and probably others. Maybe we [can] get the cost down on the mold by finding a few participants.

If I end up finding a plastic tank, I would think that foam is an ok option since the plastic won't degrade from the exposure like a metal tank does. Or would you still opt to have a drain or some method to remove water? Do you have a tag on your tank? I wonder if I can still get a quote from that m...

Spc337

I’m probably more concerned about pulling the rigging and rewiring. At least I can clean up the mess there now and perhaps move the batteries to the console too. I keep reading that foaming in the tank, while originally done that way, is perhaps not the best. Installing it on a cradle to allow air c...

Spc337

I’m considering pulling my tank out to do a complete test and then refoam. I’ve never done that before. Any views on how complex?

Spc337

That should be the same as the 22 from what I understand. I’ll PM my email.

I’m pricing various options to replace [the fuel] tank in my 1979 Outrage 22. I’m searching for tank dimensions. I’m sure someone has replaced their fuel tank on a 1979 OUTRAGE 22 and has drawings from their tank supplier. Can that someone send me the drawing or the dimensions? I spoke with Chuck Be...

Spc337

I agree. Chuck Bennett says the oem for my year 22 was 70 gallons. But they don’t have the measurements. I surprised no one has the dimensions for either the 70 or 77 gallons versions for an Outrage. I can price any tanks without it and seems my only option is to pull my tank and measure it. I also ...

I’m having fuel tank [problems] on 22 Outrage. The tank was replaced in 2007 by a prior owner. I haven’t found the leak yet, as I’m trying to isolate without raising the floor, but I’m reaching the end of options. I’m also wrestling with replacement options and thinking plastic. I’m going to get a q...

I’ve put on some T-bolt clamps and will test it again in the morning. I tried to use my torque wrench (30lbs) but I got nervous as it seem extremely tight without hitting the limit on the wrench.

This hose will never budge. But does it leak???

Spc337

Argh! The hardest part was getting all three screws on the fuel fill fitting on the gunwale as the the hose made it near 8mpossible to get the nuts on.. after much effort, i was off to get fuel. This time, nothing backed up, admirable! Once the tank was full I checked for leaks and my concern was un...

Spc337

Well, I was able to get both hoses under the floor and to the access area. Both the vent and fuel hoses slid on to the aluminium tank easily with nothing needed to lubricate. This worries me a bit but the new hoses are the same ID as the previous hoses. Double clamped both so i’ll Check for leaks wh...

Spc337

Ok, so the [cause of the slow fueling] has been found,?and it is indeed a collapsed fuel filler hose. Seems the A2 is the correct hose and I can’t find A1 in 1.5-inch size. I did get A1 to replace the vent line and will install that with the new filler line. Getting the old hose off was a pain but e...

Spc337

I could understand how that could happen. On the trailer it looks to be stern down. However, my tank has maybe 20 gals currently so it would have to be an extreme trim forward to interfere in my opinion. If this was happen towards the end of the fill, I would see how this could happen.

Spc337

What is the static trim on the boat when you are trying to add fuel to the fuel tank via the on-deck fuel filler port? What are the date marks on all fuel hoses? Do the hoses clearly state they are alcohol resistant? Do the hoses clearly state their USCG rating designation as A1, A2, B1, or B2? Mar...

I've recently purchased a 1979 V-22 Outrage in very good condition. Our maiden voyage was great, everything was smooth as expected. My one concern is the fuel filler seems like it has a blockage as it can only accept a trickle. I've checked the vent line and it seems clear. Now I know the usual susp...

Ideally with a low hour 4-stroke (wishful thinking). I'm in the Seattle area so closer is better. Need good trailer with it.

I'm planning to purchase a classic 1984 Outrage 18. There are a few problems I want to address which may include cleaning up the existing wiring.

The motor is 2007 and that is when the fuel tank was replaced.

It's a good looking boat, never bottom painted. The heavy gel coat is strange. If this was a work boat, it would have been bottom painted.

I'm considering purchasing an older Outage 18 with Yamaha 150 and good trailer. The fuel tank and hoses were replaced and look in great shape. It has a partial teak floor and teak gunwales.
