    Gas tank needs to be moved over

    Hey guys I went out the other day and while running my live well my boat began to fill with water. Upon inspection I found that the upper line on my livewell has broken off. It appears my gas tank has moved to the drivers side about an inch and snapped the hose off. Currently there's only 1/4 tank of gas so i removed the two screws and I tried pushing it back over, didn't budge. I'm scared to push too hard as i'm afraid of breaking it (then im screwed) the boat is an 02 Intimadator so it worries me the plastic tank may be brittle. I was using a piece of wood to pry between the livewell and the tank. Any ideas?? Am I missing any other securing points other than the two in the battery compartment??
    Thanks and Stay Safe Brothers

    I'd get the gas out and try again that's probably north of 100#

    There are aluminum hold down brackets that hold the gas tank down. They most likely bent and are restricting you from pushing the tank back to the original position.

    Might need to get more of the gas out. Like posted above thats in the ball park of 100 pounds.
