|
|
I need to access the trim tab to replace it on the starboard side.
I have unbolted the two ears on the tank; one in the front, one on the side by the bilge pump.
I pulled the two platic strips on the floor infront of the tanks.
I have not pulled hoses yet, but I cannot lift or move the tank.
Is it glued down? Is there hiddent ears that hold it down?
I need to empty the tank still, so it's heavy, but I figured I could at least slide it around a tad, but it won't budge.
Maybe I expect 200lbs of fuel to slide around to easy and I need to empty it out. However, is the tank glued down? _________________ 2018 C-Dory Venture 26. Suzuki DF200A,autopilot, solar, 412ahr of lithium. |

On my 22 cruiser, the filler hoses are very effective at keeping the tank in place. They are stiff and there is zero slack. |
