I currently have a leaning post installed on my 18 foot 1983 Outrage. I have two swivel bucket seats that I would like to install. My question is does any one have any suggestions when making the conversion? I am aware that I need to avoid the gas tank when drilling new screw holes for the bucket seats. What is the best way to seal the old screw holes etc.?
Thank you - Larry

Larry,
Do you have this decal on your fuel tank cover?

Don't drill deeper then 1" and use screws that go no deeper then 1".
You can also use screws in the old screw holes for the Leaning Post and just use sealant to seal them up.
Other members here might have other ideas on filling the old screw holes by using epoxy or something similar if you don't want to use screws.

Thanks Joe for your comments. The decal was missing but plan to get a new one.
Also thanks for the suggestion relating to the screw holes. Will be installing the new seats this winter.
