Hopefully this is the right board for this question. Let me know if not.
I bought a Ranger bay boat the other day and the guy had rigged up a home-made stainless steel gas tank right under the center console as the main tank. The reason he did that was because for some reason he cut a rectangular hole 8x10)in the original poly tank that goes beneath the deck and could not repair it.
I've looked at replacements online and they're pretty pricey. Anyone ever had one of these patched or ideas on how to do so?
My thought was just get a piece of 3/16" thick aluminum plate larger than the hole and nut & bolt it to the tank with a piece of gasket material rated for gas in between. Thoughts?
