I have an 85 steplift and considered this myself. I chose to leave it in since I see no reson to pull it. Why are you removing it in the first place? I can understand preventive maintenance, but is there a failing tank issue with these boats I dont know about? Also, your 1 1/2" filler hose looks like mine, would you replace that too or is it ok to have fine exterior stress fractures since its so thick anyway.
