Hi,

I have a 17ft. '78 CC Angler - the below deck gas tank is shot so I have been using a Moeller topside tank. Although small, it eats up too much precious deck space. I was think about raising my cooler swingback benchseat about 11" to accomidate the tank. Might use some Azec trim or composite decking.

I was considering putting the topside tank in the compartment just in front of the outboard, where the bilge is - but I have a feeling fumes would build up in there.

Has anyone raised a cooler switchback seat to fit a topside tank? Any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Mike
