Having completed the installation of my 8" Seabuilt inspection port a few weeks ago I wrote it up and it has now been posted at:
http://hunter.sailboatowners.com/in...mid=267&cat_id=31&aid=8144&page=article&mn=34
Or it is at Boat Owner>>Hunter Owner Modifications>>34
In this case its another Hunter 34 but applicable to any other fuel tanks of similar size and material. Dan Johnson has also posted pictures of the same installation on his H34. I figured a few details would be useful.
Other than being subjected to the discomfort of that narrow locker, the installation went smoothly. It helped to have the proper tools and a nearly empty fuel tank. Those absorbent pads were also very useful as they soaked up the sludge nicely and I had no spills to deal with. We are lucky to have proper disposal cans here in the marina for the pads. I was able to re-filter my old fuel until it looked clear and with the addition of biocide, return it to the tank. I'll burn off as much as I can before refilling with fresh.
Hope this helps.
