The capacity plate on my '79 Overnighter 20' is no longer legible. If anyone could take a photo of one from that era I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Steve

Thanks guys will go with siphoning out thru the larger fill inlet as I've also had limited success with the small fuel hose/primer bulb option. Don't want to leave pre-mixed fuel for spring (1984 Johnson 185- VRO was bypassed).

Thank you Bob

What's the best way to remove leftover gas at the end of the season? Thanks Steve

Does anyone know what the capacity plate used to read on a '79 204C Overnighter? Thanks, Steve

Thanks Seasick' After melting out the nylon bushing, decided the whole assembly was too rusted and decided to spring (sorry) for a new one. Appreciate your help ! Steve

Thanks Chris

Thanks gw204 & seasick, going with the 4" access hole/ deckplate approach. Steve D.

After successfully removing gas tank from my '79 overnighter (with help from this forum, thank you!) I'd like to replace the fill hose. It appears to have been hose-clamped to the deck fitting prior to joining the hull/deck, as access is extremely limited- any ideas would be appreciated...
