The cap has been completely replaced with coosa board, as was the deck. I ended up pumping out the tank as there was quite a bit of water in the fuel. 40 gallons worth of useless fluid. Not sure how its possible that so much water could have gotten in there from condensation, and I dont see any leak or how it could have gotten in from the outside. Ive purchased a remote tank to see how the engine runs. Oddly, it ran fine on the hose at home. but when I put it in the water it wouldnt stay running at the dock. Thats when we discovered the water in the fuel.
Oh well, I expected to have issues and was going to replace the tank anyway as a precaution and to move it forward to counter the engine bracket.
