My Seacraft
So I replaced the corroded battery cables and got it all cleaned up and ready to run. Motor ran good in yard and then I smelled fuel. I check under the deck hatch and I have fuel in the section where the tank is. So the question is two fold, one is it safe to keep running the boat? And 2 my aluminum tank is only like 5 years old is it likely that it has a pinhole in it already? The fuel hoses are getting older, but the one that runs to the motor is staying pressurized. The fuel fill hose and fuel vent hose are older than the hose that runs to the motor, but I didn't put any fuel in so I doubt its either of those hoses leaking.
I may even consider off loading this boat at this point.
Sigh
