So getting around to repowering the Grady with some Mercury 225 Fourstrokes and was wondering what to do with the oil tank filler located on the stern? Any ideas???

I don't know what is on the other side but I would pull all off that stuff out and patch in those holes. I assume there is access to the tank on the other side, if so you could modify that area for tackle storage or an additional live well perhaps. If I lived closer I could help you spend more money on it. :)

When my boat was repowered they were just removed and covered with one rectangle piece of starboard. I thought it looked acceptable. In my case the 4 strokes needed powerheads and going back to HPDI's instead. Oil tanks were reinstalled and I just plan to fill from rear hatch and long funnel.
