Now I need to find a replacement tank. FMT quoted $1,300 plus $300 in shipping, and extra for epoxy coating--seems rather expensive. Researching plastic alternatives, no luck yet. Most others on this board haven’t had success either.
My project plan includes -
- --Remove console and deck (derigging everything).
--Remove tank and surround foam using exsisting tank for measurements.
--Clean everything under the deck.
--Install method to drain fuel cavity (either with remote pump or installing drain tube to rear fish box with plug.
--Install new tank. If plastic, I’ll install some channels to move water to drain, foam in tank. If aluminum, look to build a cradle allow air flow and drainage to keep the tank dry; or worst case, foam in
--Seal deck plywood edges (still in very good shape but a few edges are exposed so fill with 5200 to bond and seal)
--Re-lay wires and spare pull strings.
--Move battery switch to console w/batteries.
--Replace deck and console
--Rewire fuse buss
--Caulk deck
--Have fun
Any other recommendations?
