(Alma's Only) Alma\'s Only Fuel Tank Mount 2 of 2

Description : This shows the aluminum mounting brackets, and thrust plate made of marine ply. The thrust plate is a tight fit, and works as follows: cut the backing plate 2 inches longer than the space between the tanks, and slide into position with 1 inch behind each tank. The starboard side vertical strip, and the horizontal force transfer strip, both attach to the backing plate with countersunk screws and glue. Fill the screw holes to prevent moisture from entering the wood. The port side vertical attaches to the backing plate with screws only, and must be installed after the remainder of the assembly is in place, and is removed to pull the assembly. Note waste strips of plastic used to keep the assembly off the deck, and prevent it from jamming into the space between the tanks and the transom, and putting point stress on the transom. The bilge pump is kept in place with 3m4200, and the key to it\'s success is to use an undersized hose, because water drains back from the hose when the pump stops, and you need to keep that volume to a minimum, or it overflows the sump.
