2010 170 SUPER SPORT: Source for 19-gallon On-deck Fuel Tank

Postby seacatflx » Mon Jul 27, 2026 12:14 pm

Q1: where can a 19-gallon on-deck fuel tank be purchased that would fit under the seat on a 2010 170 SUPER SPORT as seen in Figure 1 [with a height of less than 11-inches and the peculiar shape that puts the filler inlet projecting outward]?

BACKSTORY
I recently purchased this boat. When I orginally saw it there was a 19 gal tank. By the time I made an offer on it they had replcd the 18 gal tank with 2 new six gal tanks due to a problem with old tank. I think I would prefer 1 x 19 gal vs 2 x 6 gal,

A good source of information about original parts for Boston Whaler boats is from Sue Lodel at THE BOAT HOUSE in Wisconsin. For contact information for Sue Lodel, see

ASIDE
A search using GOOGLE for "on-deck fuel tank plastic red low profile" did not find ANY 19-gallon models, nor did any of the tanks have the very unusual dog-leg with the filler inlet projecting outward. Due to recent changes in federal regulations for fuel tanks, the exact tank you are looking for may no longer be in production.

Also, if you have the legend for the drawing you include as Figure 2, the tank is CALLOUT 17, and there should be a part number provided to give details on that component.

And just out of curiosity, where did you find that drawing?

I think it was from the owners manual resource on the Boston Whaler website but I have been doing a lot of research on this boat and my planned improvements
