I'm having a lot of problems with either rust or varnish in my original 15 gallon steel tank. I've decided to replace it for greater confidence on trips.
The tank is 10" high X 16" wide X 24" long and located between the engine and rudder post. The long dimension is across the boat (nautically called athwartships). The seat hatch in the cockpit is wide and long enough to get the tank out. This ASS-U-MEs that I can move the tank around with all the nearby restrictions (rudder post, etc.) to get it in position to come out the hatch.
BTW, I have tiller steering and an Atomic 4 engine.
Anybody done this?
The local shipyard gave me the name of a sheet metal place that will be build an exact replica, so I'm not worried about getting it back in, IF I can get it out.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
