Hello, I have a 1979 C&C 34 with the original aluminum fuel tank. I've recently had some engine shutdown issues that I've traced to my fuel tank. Ideally I would like to replace the tank with a plastic one. That was recommended by the surveyor when I purchased the boat. The problem is access. T

You really want the anchor rode to drop straight down from the windlass. If not, it will bind, which is no fun. Also be sure to read the manual carefully before you commit. There may be a minimum drop recommended. My anchor locker leaves just enough room aft of the hatch to mount the windlass on

I vote for plastic, even if you have to do some cutting. My 1980 boat had the original aluminum tank which worked great until, at the end of last year when I noticed a bit of red liquid in the area around the tank. It has now been recycled somewhere because it had many small pinholes in its bottom.
