four winns 195 sundowner 1992 fuel tank problem

[bylson]

hello people, I recently bought a four winns 195 boat from 1992 with an outboard motor, the one I bought it from didn't give me a tank for the boat, who owns such a boat can show me some pictures where the tank comes from position, area, etc. thank you

It probably has an internal tank. But not sure.

Would have to agree, haven't heard of a fiberglass hull boat made in a long time that didn't have it internal

Look for the gas cap

 

[bylson]

a picture or a video would help a lot because I would understand more. my boat is not complete, and that's why I need a picture of the side with the tank, I'll leave a video here so you can understand.

certain things are missing from the boat, and their order is different and I can't find many details about the interior and others on the internet. only someone who has such a boat can help me.

your boat is 30 years old and most likely has had an interior replaced at least once.

check the floor. look for signs of a deck-over

Your looking at the tank, or if that is just a board then follow the hose back to the tank
The hand side walled hose is the tank fill hose. Your vid shows it going along and up

 

[bylson]

a single hose comes from the side supply cover of the boat, I suspect that the boat has undergone repairs and that's why I can't figure out its position. I want to buy a 70l or 100l tank. because the boat is from 1992, I can't find much information on the internet.

If the internal tank is missing then get a 6gal portable to test with before you spend coin on a new internal tank.

I have a 1988 Horizon which has a built in tank under a hatch in the deck. All that was redone when the deck was replaced 17 years ago….still have the OE tank

being from 1992, the boat does not look bad, in any case, until July the boat will undergo a total reconditioning, I will bring it to new condition

FYI 5 months for a restoration is very very ambitious.

Here's where it is on the I/O boats....never saw an outboard FW but I'd think it was similar....this is from back when we were replacing the deck, about 2006/2007

How about the 1992 catalog?

Good find Ding
Looks like the 195 had a 32 gal (121 L) tank, so it's built in, or it was at one time
