Re: Need to get to built-in gas tank on a Hurricane deck boat here
I have a Godfrey 22 foot Hurricane 226 Fundeck and need to get to the gas tank which is built into the boat under the deck in the rear port corner. The area of the deck above it is a storage locker.
Two, I'd like to get to the tank to make sure it is clean, or clean it if it's a mess. I've got a Racor water separator/canister filter between the tank and engine, but I'd still like to get to the tank to inspect it. The fill/vent assembly faces the rear of the boat, so suddendly backing off the power, as when a skier falls, causes the boat's wake to hit the back of the boat, allowing water to enter the gas vent. I'd like to get below deck to reroute the vent line or put some kind of loop in it so water can't get in.
Re: Need to get to built-in gas tank on a Hurricane deck boat [links]
One, the gas line coming from the tank is deteriorating and needs to be replaced.
Being that they are glassed to the hull, I can't think of any way to replace the stringers (if needed) without tearing up the deck.
Unless of coarse the boat is a "tinny", then you won't have to worry about stringer rot. more
Re: Bad Stringers? How to tell? more
Deck put back on and still not "tore up". here
I'm not familiar with that particular boat however each switch on the Hurricane have a breaker and therefore there is no fuse block installed (each circuit is individually protected by the inline breaker) more
You can either install an inline fuse, breaker, or add a fuse block for future uses as well. more

It’s impossible to know exactly what to expect from a hurricane or tropical storm because they can worsen, change, or move without warning. The more severe a hurricane is, the more damage you can expect, which is why early preparation is essential. By preparing for the worst-case scenario, you can help protect your floating dock, boat, kayak, or personal watercraft (PWC) from as much storm-related damage as possible.
Once everything is repaired, you can start returning your dock to its normal state. If you own an EZ Dock, it’s easy to clean — simply wash with soap and water or a pressure washer for more extreme messes. Once you’ve cleaned your dock, you can start reattaching railings, lights and furniture. Don’t forget to inspect your boat before using it again. Test that all lights and electric cabling are intact and that the engine turns on and off. Note any structural damage. Check for debris, snakes, crabs and other sea life that could have washed aboard.
Life on the coast is perfect for boaters, kayakers, and water-sports enthusiasts, but it also requires careful planning and preparation. Each year, hurricane season brings with it an average of six hurricanes, and half of those are often classified as major, meaning they are a Category 3 or higher. This is in addition to a dozen or more named severe or tropical storms.
