As for the screws, sounds like 316 stainless is not the only option. Something called silicon bronze wood screws? I do not believe the old ones are stainless and the garboard flange itself isn’t stainless either. Galvanic corrosion can happen with dissimilar metals. Or is that fact so...

Looks like our Garboard might be a somewhat non-standard size. Flange diameter is 2-1/4” instead of 2”. Was only able to find one option. $16 on Fisheries Supply, likely made in China. Brings me to my next question, are there any major reasons or signs not to re-use the old garboard drain...

Good deal; yeah I’m looking at maybe Perko for the drain, they claim USA made. Our drain does have a short sleeved section so I’ll definitely try to prevent reducing that hole diameter with the epoxy. I thought I had read on here somewhere that 4200 is not “ideal” if it’s always submerged...

Planning on resealing the garboard drain here soon and wanted any last minute tips before moving forward. Any specific garboard drain brand recommendation? I’ll be looking into coating any exposed wood (which it likely has) with epoxy when the old drain is removed. Any epoxy recommendations...

So I know I’ve kind of derailed this thread a little bit, but we just decided to double up on the 0.5” neoprene strips using 3M 4000 and it worked. Now I’m curious what your opinions are on chocking the fore and aft of the tank. To secure the tank down we were planning on using some metal...

Yeah the problem is I’m having to double up on 0.5” neoprene rubber strips just to get the tank sitting off the PVC pipe. I can still figure a way, cheers!

What is the purpose of this PVC pipe running the length of the fuel coffin? Why can’t the bow just drain straight into the coffin and then out into the bilge? The reason I ask is because it’s causing some problems with shimming and spacing undernieth. I could make it work but if it’s not...

So we will have a similar setup to the OPs fuel filler hose setup. The difference being our Tournament 190 has fuel fill and fuel vent lines going to the front of the boat not the rear. I wasn’t able to get a response from the OP but he used a coupler between the 90 degree elbow and rest of...

Any recommendation on how to drill hole without getting shavings inside the tank?

Yeah it is a little confusing because I've heard others say what you're saying but I don't think its just HDPE. They call it cross-linked HDPE which is like PEX. These are their own words: Can I move the fittings on my Moeller fuel tank to make them work for my application? No, our process...

That might be possible. What like a threaded fitting with a gasket between the plastic surface and top BBC over of the fitting? I do know Moeller literally inserts the fittings while the tank is being molded. If that were done would plugging off the other vent be recommended or do some people...

Once I have a chance I'll get a level on it here in a day or two (on the trailer). Might be a while before I can test the tank's level with the boat in the water. I would think the deck would be parallel with the water line if I can use that as a reference. The stern side of the hatch opening...

We just ordered this exact tank (Moeller Belly Tank 52 Gallon) for our Tournament 190. Looking at BlueComet's tank schematic, part of the problem is the factory tank has the vent and fuel pickup on opposing sides of the tank. This Moeller tank unfortunately has all fittings one one side. It...
