[QUOTE="Tin Man, post: 495058, member: 7021"] I had a similar situation. My OEM Yamaha 6gal tank would not fit behind me on starboard side between driver's seat and transom. I ended up purchasing a new Sceptre 6gal tank. It has a smaller footprint but is still 6gal. I placed it behind me at transom (starboard side) and placed the starting motor battery (12V-Grp 27) opposite side to port. Since I'll be adding approx. 100# to bow (TM and Grp 27 battery) it will balance well. There are currently 100# of sand bags placed in bow area by previous owner so I know that amount of weight up forward works great. NOTE: I also placed an external Yamaha fuel filter between battery and fuel tank. [/QUOTE]
