[Public-list] water tank

[Mike Lehman]

Harlan,

You tank, as George mentioned, has an aluminum cover and the rest of the 
tank is part of the inner liner of the boat. The aluminum cover is fastened 
with aluminum pop rivets. Remove the top of the tank and use it as a pattern 
to cut out a new top. I used a sheet of G10 epoxy which I purchased at 
Piedmont Plastics. www.piedmontplastics.com I laid the old tank cover on the 
new sheet and spray painted around the edge to get the shape and hole 
positions. I cut the new sheet out, drilled the holes and installed it with 
a liberal amount of 3M 5200. Finally I secured the new top with SS sheet 
metal screws. I did this project about 10+ years ago and I do not have any 
more stuff floating in my coffee in the morning any more. It is a permanent 
fix and an upgrade to the original method.
