This message is for Steve O, but others can weigh in if you like. ?I saw your post that the previous owner of your boat sawed out the wood between the engine and water tank. ?I am thinking about doing the same to get better access to the engine. ?Do you have any pictures of how this looks?
I am trying to decide how much to cut away yet still leave enough in tact to keep the water tank anchored to the board that separates the water tank and engine. ?I really don't want to relocate the water tank.
Have you had any issues with heat in the cockpit locker due to the missing piece of wood? ?Any effects on your water tank? (assuming yours is still mounted there too). ?The back side of the board that separates the water tank and the engine has insulation attached to the engine side, this is why I am concerned this might be an issue.
Any pictures or advice any of you have is greatly appreciated!
Joe
