Hervey,
Getting it out was not too difficult, the tank fits out through the
lazarette under the starboard seat. My tank was held in place by two
galvanized steel straps, corrosion from which caused the leak. Hardest
part was undoing the fill and vent connections, had to get to them
through the panel at the aft end of the port quarter berth.
As someone mentioned in a recent post, getting the fill hose back on was
a pain. If I recall there's an elbow just off the tank connection,
little bit of a struggle to make it tight. I used fabric straps to hold
the new plastic tank down. My tank gauge has never worked so I just
look through the wall of the tank to see the level.

Neil,
Curious as to how you removed the fuel tank on your 35-1, as I've been
concerned about our tank, but looks like a daunting task to remove the
tank.
