I finally managed to get my fuel sender off, using a impact screwdriver, but ended up leaving parts of some of the screws behind. Apparently I wasn't the first one to attack this because they weren't all the same screws (a couple of ss wood screws and a couple of finet thread machine screws). For the record, whats left of the screws are buried.
I've been thinking off reclocking/drilling new holes, but the original holes are in molded in bosses, and the space between them is maybe 1/4" thick. If I do this, I was thinking of plugging the holes with some left over Marine-tex from a keel repair I need to do.
I could use some input from the iboat pros, cause I'm in unfamiliar territory.
Also, I feel like I should be draining my tank. Any ideas on how to temporarily store 20+ gallons of mixed fuel?
Thanks for your time.
