Hey Randleman, congrates on getting that cool boat! 8)

I was reading what you posted about your gas tank and it got me thinking that you may wanna take a look at the workmanship of the install. A tank 1/2 the size of the original means there's probably plenty of room to spare... or plenty of room for the tank to move! :o

Also, if it had 60 gallons before, it could have it again! ::)

Here's a a couple of sites I've been looking at while researching what I'd need to do to put a fuel tank under my deck.

This first one is the coast gaurd regs so you'll know how it should've been done: http://www.uscgboating.org/safety/bo...FUELSYSTEM.pdf

Here's the one I think I'll end up getting my gas tank from: http://www.oceanlinkinc.com/tanks/gas-diesel.htm

Here's my alternate: http://www.speedytanks.com/

Thanks for posting pics! I was starting to get a little worried about Hammer.... :o ;D ;D ;D

Just a thought on the low voltage = higher current draw = heat which may mate the switch. Nice boat by the way welcome to V ownership. Have fun getting her set up your way! Billy Mac ;D

Sounds like your gonna need/want a new battery anyway. I'd throw a hot battery in there and see what she does. While there may not be an alarm for low voltage, all the sensors need proper voltage to funtion. That battery could well be the problem.

Airslot

and congrats on the new ride.
