    Removing 32 Gal Gas Tank

    Okay well I have took this gas tank out before so I know it comes out. However last night I fill as If I was in a battle and well for the most part I got my but kicked so I need a few pointers I have a buddy to day so I guess you could say I have called in reinforcements and at lunch we are going to take a stab at getting this thing out.
    I have removed all gas, and hardware, now wich is the easiest way to get it out front first or back first. I tried both last night.

    i have a 21XRD and you are able to just lift the tank out. I know its harder on your model.

    I believe you will need to tilt the tank on angle and werk it out. Tilt the motor side of the tank up and squeeeezzz out.

    Someone correct me if i am wrong.

    I took mine out front first and used a prybar to grab the bottom of the tank to gat some leverage there is one tight spot where the top corner and bottom corners of the tank are touching the boat.

    Got it, for anyone else interested you have to tilt the connections down back toward the motor. Make sure no lines or wiring get under the tank lines or anything and then it comes out front first. Doing this buy yourself is a killer got it done in 5 mins with another pair of hands , bout kilt myself last night trying by myself. Didnt need a prybar or anything.

    Thanks to all

    Put a nylon strap around it and leave it there. Next time it will be much easier.
