If so, I now know what my winter project will be. Edited by HarleyFXDL on 06/17/09 - 12:10 PM Kevin 1988 11' Super Sport, 1987 Johnson 15hp.

There were gallons of water down there. The real problem lies in how the moisture sits against the tank. This is what it looks like when you pull it out and the water has done its job... There are several small holes in the back of the tank. sraab928 attached the following image: [95.54Kb] Edited by sraab928 on 06/17/09 - 4:01 PM Scott 1974 21' Revenge w Mercury 200 ProXS V8

I will remove the deck plates to allow moisture to escape. Kevin 1988 11' Super Sport, 1987 Johnson 15hp.

It took many hours of labor to get them out. And the smell.... oh boy I wont forget that anytime soon. Scott 1974 21' Revenge w Mercury 200 ProXS V8
