I'm just about to reinstall my floor after replacing my fuel tank. When the boat was built they used some type of THICK caulk or bedding compound to take up the gaps between the ribs and supporting structure and the floor. Does anyone know what that is and where I can buy some. The "caulk" is...
So this year I found my alumnium fuel tank leaking and am now in the middle of replaceing it. I have done some research on the fuel tanks and how to mount them, also how NOT to mount them. The one thing I found is NEVER use foam to mount an alumnium tank. The maker of my boat used foam. I was...
