23 CC Tear Down Begins

[strick]

Thats common for them to leave a gap. They fill it with cabosil and glass over it and around the corner. I remember somehing about hard spots on boats but cant remember if it applies to that. Maybe someone can help us out here. I just put them back together the same way I find them.

Also siphoned the gas out of the tank, there were 80 gallons of fuel still in this boat. Used every can I had plus the neighbors and 6 more cans I bought. Gas looked pretty good for being in there for several years. Probably try using it 3:1 in the vehicles to get rid of it.

Call your town / state recycling center. They may have a program that will allow them to recover the old fuel.

It's a tough call on running that through your tank again, even at 5-1. If you had 3+ year old gas and you mix it in your car/trunk tank with new 15% ethanol blend gas, well, the two do not go together too well. Could play havoc with your injectors as the ethanol in the new fuel will atack stuff in the old MTBE based gas.

Yeh, pulling all that gas out is a Pain IN the Ass.

What year is your boat? Keep up the good work...
