Grady sat the fuel tanks on neoprene pads which held water between them and the tank which caused them to corrode through leaking gas.

I used Atlantic Coast Welding, I checked pricing elsewhere and they had very good prices for my 2 tanks, also had them epoxy coat them , from the time I sent my drawings to the time I received my tanks it was about 3 weeks, happy with what got, I think if I were going could do anything...

I have the same boat and I started to replace all of the tru hulls at the water line but even though Grady put access covers by them I was to big to get in there so my boat yard had a guy that could get in there to change them out, it was pretty cheap, money well spent.

don't need anything else with the Seastar. I havent put it on yet but your right , that's how the OMC binnacle works so it should work like that also since it is wired to do that already.

check out Seastar Solutions CH7842P ,I am in the process of installing it on my 88 Sailfish with twin 200 johnsons, could can pick one up online for about $400.
