New Gas Tanks for '87 Sketter Strada F-80
I took out the Old Metal gas can tank, I was going to replace with a larger tank but in this boat space in a min. So i went with a 6 gal. and a reserve 3 gal. for a total of 9 gal. I yet to use the 3 gal its still full, The Mariner 60ph i have on the boat does really well on gas now since all the work i did to it.
Things i have done to the boat since purchase used. 1. Rebuild fuel pump 2. Rebuild carbs. 3. Replaced stator 4. Replaced water pump impeller 5. Almost total rebuild of lower unit (whoever worked on it messed it up royally, parts in backwards, which made the boat go in reverse when throttle is pushed forward... LOL) 6. New trolling motor. 7. Bought smoked windshield. 8. Replaced tow chains. 9. Put in an on-board charger/maintainer. 10. Replaced gas tank. 11. Also the trim stopped working (low on fluid so i drilled an access hole in the plastic tank in the front, could not get the the access screw in the rear got frustrating trying to fill it, so made my own and taped the plastic with 5/16" bolt and filled with a squirt oil can). oh yea got a new black and red Skeeter plate for the front deck access cover (scanned it and used it for my aviator here.. ) Joe Last edited by joecnc2006; 06-09-08 at 12:18 AM. |
