Adding a drain to the fuel tank well

[McGillicuddy]

Hi Jon,
Looks like you're cruising on the boat. The black coating is probably coal tar epoxy. I would not re-foam. Drains are a good idea and elevating the tank with some thin strips of non corrosive rubber or plastic adhered to tank is also common practice. Angle alum welded to tank is typical attachment point, either at stringers or fore and aft bulkheads.


Here are links from strick and Island Trader and CHANCE1234 on how they went about it.
