I prefer to use polyester resin, the layup kind for this project. Your final layer will be covered to fully cure. Cut balsa wood the size of the core you took out, it is easier to cut straight lines in your part and the new core. Layup fiberglass cloth after you have glued the new core pieces. After...

Very nice motor and boat Maverick. Noting like getting to the bottom of the boat to refurbish it.

What the inside of the fuel tank cavity drain tube on a 1998 Outrage 17 looks like. Viewing from inside the tank leading into the fish locker. https://youtu.be/rvm-s6kzmUM [EDIT] The video was edited from 6 mins to just over 2 mins long, it provides a view into the drain tube and the original constr...

Fuel and foam over a long period is not a good situation to be with.

Are you seeking to clean up or fix something?
Pictures help.

I would route the transducer cable over the transom or something like the picture below.

Consider this five-inch screen combination device.

JRP, I thought of changing the shape and or size of the new tank but decided to keep it original. The 1/4" rubber strips on the bottom should provide adequate airflow underneath the fuel tank to keep it dry. I have to be careful when I pour the 4lbs foam to ensure that none of it drips to the b...

Tank is out https://farm1.staticflickr.com/589/22941381330_e9503bb7f4_c.jpg A little scraping and the hole is evident on the aft V of the the tank where the foam was on the bottom https://farm1.staticflickr.com/572/22843060547_ec391ef698_c.jpg Cleaned for new tank https://farm6.staticflickr.com/564...

Thanks for the link Phil, I did not think of the parts diagram.
I could decipher the location of the courtesy lights on the bottom of the console but could not figure out what sort of light fixture it is. My inquisitiveness is to see if I can incorporate those lights on my 98 Outrage 17 console.

Has anyone pictures that show how and where the original courtesy lights are installed on the console of the 190 Outrage?
Thanks.

The trick was the heat gun to release the brackets. This time, after reading the 3M specs for 4200 sealant, I heated the brackets aggressively on high for 60-90 seconds. Then a little leverage with a crowbar and the brackets pop out very cleanly. Thanks for all your tips and support. Fuel tank remov...

Great resource Phil.

But that web site needs lots of work, here is the link to the Boston whaler items;

JRP--the fuel tank developed a leak; there was fuel in the stern fish locker. The top of the fuel tank is in perfect condition, which apparently does not provide a true condition assessment. :-) Re your curiosity about the model: 1998 Boston Whaler Outrage 17 . Thank you for the feedback, everything...

1998 Boston Whaler Outrage 17 at Castaic Lake in summer of 2014 at the dock on the upper lake main ramp.

I am pretty sure it is 3M4200, I can't imagine that Boston Whaler would use 3M5200 on a serviceable part. It was soft enough to cut with a razor blade where it had oozed out a bit. Only two screws were holding this bracket, so no more fasteners. The sealant isn't that much; the bracket is very flat ...

I tried heating the aluminum angle bracket [that is holding down the fuel tank] to take it off, but it does not budge at all. I have tried sliding a putty knife wherever it will fit between the tank and bracket, but no movement. Are there any tips to getting these brackets off? They seem to have som...
