H All-
I recently purchased a '97 208 Adventure and want to add a kicker motor (already have the bracket on the port transom).
I can buy a 2 stroke 8 hp long shaft Tohatsu for a fair price. My question is, can the 3 gal fuel tank and gas line be stored in the deck hatch area? (I am not sure of what this area is for, it sits directly in front of the motor well in the cockpit and is unfinished fiberglass). It fits in there, and is basically useless space otherwise. I hate having the fuel tank taking up valuable cockpit space!
I can lift up the ~2 1/2ft x ~1 1/2ft hatch cover and easily fit the 3 gal fuel tank and fuel line in it.
Wonder what other folks use this area for, and if anyone has done this. Thoughts appreciated.
Thanks,
Don
