i have a 1744 gtrax with a closed in bow with a door on top. it is not waterproof. i want to move my gas tank up there. should i be concerned about fumes and explosion or fire if i did this. it has a troll motor plug and a q-beam plug up there also. does anybody else have this set up and will it be a problem picking up gas that far away from the motor?

Are you planning on putting it inside the deck? If so i wouldnt suggest that. Fumes would gather in there and everything would smell like gas and i dont think it would be safe. Have you looked into putting an extention on your deck and putting the tank under that?

yea i thought about a drop in extension that i can take out during duck season also. but i never use that box for storage and was thinking it would be a good way to get that tank out of the middle of my floor and add some weight to the front.

Just cut the wall out and have it open. If you never use it your not losing anything and you still have space for bird season.

Of you're in louisiana you have to have a vent on an enclosure that has a gas tank in it.
