CharlieO. yes the tanks went straight down thru the hatch, I'm in the engine room [single engine] slid, push, pulled the tank around and placed on shelf where old steel 150 gal tank was. I placed mine so that fuel fill hoses would be close together when both tanks were installed. If you go...

CharlieO. my tanks went down and thru the front hatch in the galley

max1 tempo 50 gal tank Boat US along time ago

Charlie Iv'e done what you are planning to do. I'm pretty sure the plastic tanks I used are 12'' wide 24" high and 48" long. 50 gal. per tank. I put 2 on each side. I used a Sawzall, short blades all the cutting is close to the head. [ ear protection]

same as wood said 3/16 in post #4

jmreim while the engine is running and you are watching the vacuum gauge shut the fuel line off to the engine, you should see how the gauge changes form green to red.

protecting the puppy we have been using the same product for years, we attach ours to the fly bridge rail by using brass grommets every 10 " and using 3/16 nylon cording thru the grommets and around the rail for the top support . The bottom and sides I ran a 3/8 nylon rope secured at the...

joe the ballast is a mix of gravel, sand and cement. the cement isn't a strong mix, not to hard to break apart and that mix is covered with a thin layer of fiber glass

yes Ive done it. you can make a dam out of clay inside the engine room on top of the hull, add water in dam and place transducer in water turn the unit on. just a way to check to see if it will work in your boat. if everything works use the epoxy . good luck

Hey DB have you seen the shaft log (tube) yet? Is it metal or fiber glass? I've seen both worked on. mike

Kip good luck with your project, I would use short blades, so as not to hit the hull or anything else under the tank that you won,t be able to see. Get a lot of blades, and good eye and ear protection. Are your tanks 150 gal? What type tanks are you planning on installing? '' have fun its a boat''

Alexander Kent has a good series , form line of battle , enemy in sight and a few more. if you like Hornblower try these

I think that psneeld is on the right track in post #24 I would try and drive the bolts back into the stringer and I think that the brass plate can be unscrewed from the shaft log. If you are worried about clearance to turn the plate the only thing under it is thin layer of fiber glass mating...
