Bass boat right?

Actually, that might not be that bad a repair, but you would need time
to remove the tank - I believe it's located right behind the seats
under the rear deck. You would have to remove the seats to get at it,
but once those are out, it's a fairly straight removal and replace
job.

Correct, it's a bass boat. Seats wouldn't be in the way - there's a
full width hatch that exposes 90% of the tank. Removal would require
the tank to be tilted forward and then it would come straight up.
Sounds like a wintertime job.

Ah - different deck configuration then.

Rangers, Stratos and Tritons are a little different - you pull the
seats, remove four bolts and you can pull it right out from under the
deck.

You're right though - it's definitely a winter time job.
