[QUOTE="airshot, post: 495022, member: 1183"] All depends on how much weight your boat can handle in the transom. Just a 6 gallon tank shoukd not be a problem but if you add batteries etc then it could be to much. If you choose to put the fuel line thru the tank seat, I would use a large enough hole that the fuel line passes easily thru, then use a pvc pipe glued into position for the line to pass thru. If it ever needs replaced, or in an energency you could easily disconnect and pull the line ( and fittings) thru. On my boat, I built on each side, infront of that rear seat a storage pod so the fuel tank is on one side the battery on the other. Keeps you in the center for better balance and the flat tops of the storage boxes was a great working spot and place to mount electronics within easy reach. Just some thoughts for ya..... [/QUOTE]
