Re: Gas tank installation
Starboard and 5200 don’t work together very well. I went to Home Depo and found some plastic fence material that they sell there cut it up to the proper sizes and glued it to the bottom of the tank let set and then used those two fat beads on both sides of the strip to hole tank to the deck. I think plexi glass is a much more ridged and breakable material and could become a problem if it breaks up over time with a boat pounding on waves.
I did my boat over 3 years ago and have not had any indication of a problem but unless I pull the tank hatch cover up I probably will never know for sure. Don’t use rubber it will rot and cause problems as time goes on. I wonder if you could use strips of fiberglass paneling would not rot but it would flex and you could make or cut them yourself?
