Re: Mill my own T-track? Aluminum Bronze or Silicon Bronze?

Thanks but it is not that kind of boat. High D/L. No rail meat.

Re: Plastimo's stationary lubber lines vs balanced lubber lines?

NO i am not sure. all i have is Plastimo's text saying "lubber lines mounted in the lower part of the bowl" and that photo. If what you say is correct that is ideal.

Re: Needed: internal tank fill tube, 1.5"NPT thread, 1.5" hose barb.
