Default Re: Fuel tank

Jack in Weymouth: I need to replace the tank in my 1985 Scepter. How did you get yours out ? On mine, the deck flanges that the removable deck plates sit on and screws into, overlap over the top of the tank on both sides.

Looks like I'll have to trim atleast part of the flanges off on each side to have any chance of getting the tank out. And even after trimming part of the flanges off, I still will have a heck of a time getting to the foam between stringers and the sides of the tank.

Hope you can give some guidance. I need to get this tank out and replace real soon as our cobia season starts up pretty soon here in central Florida.

I'll probably have a new 100 gallon tank built as the 144 was way too much. My twin 115 Suzukis never burn more than 35 gallons on an offshore trip.
