Before Posting, Please Read Our Posting Guidelines Below.
1. Use the full 4 digit year for everything you are asking your question about. Example: 1962, 1988, 2000, 2011 2. Include the correct name of your Whaler model. Example: Montauk 17, Montauk 170, Outrage 26, Outrage 260 3. Include the length when necessary. Example: 16, 17, 18, 20, 22 4. Do not post your email address anywhere on this site as it is already in your user profile.
Don't forget one very important thing, the www in front of whalercentral....
The www must be included in the url as WhalerCentral is based on the www....
If a person doesn't use the www then if a member clicks on that url, it takes them to a different url that makes it look like they are not logged in.....
The above link is different and you will not be logged in.....
Everything on our site uses the www so if you are linking to anything on this site, use the www and you will always be logged in....
In the past we have tried to incorporate both types of links but due to the site software, we were not able to do this as their ended up being to many redirects....
Hope this makes sense to everyone.
So, use the www in the whalercentral address.
Looks to me that with a couple of pieces of dri-dek or starboard, the fuel line can make the bend to the rigging tunnel. The boat pictured had previously had a Pate tank and already had a hole drilled aft of the original opening.
I'm on the fence. I could slather on some RTV silicone and call my current Mirax 12s "fixed". A new pair of Mirax D12s will run me $497 shipped. A custom made Mirax single to my spec (about 25 gal with a baffle) will run me $438 shipped. I also faxed a drawing to RDS Aluminum in FL and am awaiting a quote from them. If price were the same, I'd go with a Mirax single. However - to further add to the confusion, I read a bunch of articles and posts recently about the effects of ethanol on aluminum - more water = more corrosion. Also is was said that ethanol makes gasoline more electrically conductive, meaning more opportunity for corrosion. I know - not everything on the net is true, but it got my attention.

My Pate tanks line goes through the deck forward of the tank. Why can't the fuel line for this tank be routed the same way? The last thing I want to do is drill any more holes.
