Help getting to fuel tanks in a 364V

[crimsonpride40]

I need some help getting to my tanks. My Ranger 364 doesn't have the bench seat it has the Tempress folding seats. How do I get under the platform they are sitting on? I asked this question on the Ranger board and got few responses. I am just trying to find out if there is anything I need to be careful of.
Thanks,
Nick

Does it look similar to this?

It looks identical to that.

under all those blue dots that you can see in the photo should be screws. unscrew them and the bench and seats will come off as one unit. At least thats the way it is in my 488, pretty sure its the same here.

its easy to get the seats out you will have to wiggke and finagle the tanks if your tacking those out too i haved the boat and had a time tackiing out the gas tanks

I have a 362v and just remove plastic covers for the phillips head screws and your there. Take your time and remove the screws, then grab the two chrome handles and lift slowly. It will expose your two gas tanks. Are you replacing the fuel like with an ethanol resistant one? If so i got mine from west marine, about $1.65 per foot. You only have one main line running from the primer bulb back to the tank selector. Mine was 20 years old and showing its age, cracks and wear.

Yes I am just going to replace all the lines. I don't know how meticulous
the prev. owner was with maintenance. I am going to do the line,bulb,fuel filter, and plugs. The lines seem to be two different sizes though. The line from the bulb ends at a fitting in the splash-well and the line the goes through the gunwale is bigger in diameter.

[Dazed66]

I think you should have 3/8" line from the tank(s) to the bulb and 5/16" line from the bulb to the motor.

It is good your going to repalce the gas lines. I have seen new boats less than two years old and cracking and was not ethanol resistant. All it takes is not to see it and parts of the rubber line come apart and clog the carb or injector and then pop goes your motor.

Just trying to keep what I have in good shape because there is no way I can afford a new one.

[javelin90]

I agree and that is why im keeping mine to me like new.
