Morning Roberth, I agree. I plan on keeping the aft tank partially full with stable to continue to coat the tank. Then when needed I would just fill and use. Most of the time, I carry plenty of fuel. Now and then a longer trip will be plan needing the extra fuel. Good comment.

Just a best practice for anyone in need. I run two old (1986) Yamahas on my Sailfish 25. The oil sensors on the main tanks work loose and rise out of the tanks. Ace hardware has SS tie wraps that fit under the collar on the tank. Tighten till the sensors can't raise with vibration, stopping the...

Hey Skunkboat good to hear from ya. Normally won't be using it but, the is always a but, an occasional trip too the Dry Tortuga's would require the second tank for the run. I believe that with stable, leaving a couple of gallons in it will keep it coated. Then use it more and then. For normal...

Great advice. One that would be appreciated if/when that happens. Prevent beats response.

Great best practice to check them. Just looking at them , you wouldn't know.

Yeah, ethanol here too. I'm hoping that as the scuppers are at the water line, the added weight removed will put her back to where she should be. I'll keep everyone informed as this progresses. If anyone is doing a project boat like this, I am always around to share what knowledge I have. From...

Very good. the past owner followed the same procedure. I run two Yamaha's, 200's. I normally will only run 20-30 miles offshore. Shouldn't normally need all the extra fuel or weight. This has been a project. Interior replaced, new windless, steering, trailer brakes just to name a few.

Thanks, my biggest concern is the potential water in the tank. If I keep just a couple of gallons in it, ( with stable ) I would think it would splash enough to coat the tank. Then just a little experimentation to address the weigh transfer. Thanks again.

Hey all, Jim here, new GW Sailfish25 owner. Project boat almost done. Question, I have a lg123gal and a sm 73gal tank. I would like to use the lg tank amidship and keep the sm one (? empty) to reduce unwanted weight. Any advice, good or bad. Best way to keep the tank good in FL. Thanks for any...
