Boat Update Part 14: Gas Tank Installation - Bayliner 2450 Ciera (Part 1)
Check out this video where I demonstrate how to effectively replace a leaking gas tank in a Bayliner Ciera 2450 cuddy cabin. Interestingly, the process is quite similar across various boat manufacturers. Contrary to common belief, it's a simpler task than many assume. Instead of going through the hassle of pulling out an engine to install a new tank, it's often more efficient to just remove the old tank and replace it with a new one, which typically costs around $1000. Feel free to watch the video and share it with friends who might find it useful!
The following are items I purchased for this 1988 Bayliner 2450 Siera Project boat. These items will work on any similar year Mercruiser, OMC, Volvo Penta.

Thanks for coming, next one the tank goes in.

When you poured oil everywhere when you forgot to drain the old engine, I almost made a comment but didn't cause by the time I saw it, you had already made a mess. LOL. Friends. don't forget to hit the like button. Fair winds and tight lines my friends!! Gary from OK

This Bayline Ciera 2450 is pretty easy as you can see. I have heard people say, mechanics told them they had to pull the motor but as you can see, you shouldn't
Nice fiberglass job. I would love to learn how to do that.

Keep watching, plenty more coming in future videos.
Great job. We are just about to do a complete transom replacement. We bought all the supplies yesterday. $3400!😮 But will save us probably 10k by doing it ourselves.

Bro I know, but she is not ready. Many more things needed to be done than I thought. No one wants to be out there more than me! Stay tunned, this baby is getting some saltwalter on her.
With ALL the mold i am c n, the 1st thing i'd be doing is getting a respirator & sum bleach

Not much mold, you are actually seeing black oil particles from where the gas tank was in the aft cabin. Similar to what you would see in an exhaust pipe. I will show in a later video the cleaning of it.
Mike, what would you say, percentage wise, you are to being complete for it to be sea worthy?

Oh man, that is a hard one. Let's say 70\30 Engine is running, dealing with a water issue, close to half of the interior work is complete. But I need to build the top and have the glass surround intalled. (I am paying to have that done.) Several videos will come out close together as several projects will come together near the same time. So to answer your question, sea worthy is probally less than a month for sea trials. The big question is the loop? I hope to have a answer to that question in less than a month. I am planning a video for that answer. So many things I didn't plan on fixing that came about. But I am going to do it right the first time. This I can say for sure, some section of the loop is being done this year. Can you guess what that might be?
Your breathing doesn't sound to good, and I can't get past the mold, I'm concerned for your health

Yes the mic pics up a lot, not mold you are seeing. It is soot particles from the gas tank. I deal with a lot of mold in my cabinet business. This is different .
