When my boat was on the trailer, I used a clear tube and created a siphon. I knew there was appx 15- 20 gallons in the boat, so I had my plastic red 5 gallon jugs ready.

Where did you enter the boat at? I’ve never drained a boat tank. Not sure if I should go thru the gas cap, take off floor and direct to fuel tank, etc.

Done.
$3500 later everything is as good as new.
My dealer said this has been the first moomba he has had to change a ballast tank on. All the other brands, they are changing them monthly.
Just uncovered the boat to clean it up for the summer and found these cracks in the gel coat. Dealer said there is no way they would have caused this. I’ve called Moomba. Not sure where to go from here. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9e13a52f10.jpg

I'm not sure if I can even use the boat now. Never had to deal with gel coat cracks.
That's a lot of cracking for just appearing after not having used the boat for the winter. Never seen that before. I hope you can get it fixed. That would make me sick to my stomach.
That was my wife and I first thought how in the hell did this happen over the course of three or four days from picking up the boat to setting under my carport we haven’t used the boat yet this season and they weren’t there before I dropped it off. Again the dealer says there’s no way they calls that and I believe them but I don’t know how they just appeared. It’s not a very long rough drive to and from I contacted Mama. They called me back within the hour. I’m taking it back to the dealer for pictures and to see if there’s anything structural , hopefully Moomba will cover it. If not just another 2000 before I can even use the boat this summer.
Was it being stored at a dealership? Did they winterize and cover it?

Restored at my house under a carport so the temperature is consistent. It doesn’t get moved in and out side. I winterized it myself. That’s a non-issue the dealer admits. There was no cracking before the job as there was a walk-through performed, but he states I didn’t caused this and it could’ve happened on the drive home for the 45 days and sat around settling, or I could look at the boat Due to being on shift. They’re working with me so it’s all good just frustrating. By the way I was back at the dealer and they had my old car tank. There’s a picture of it in the crack in case you’re curious who submitted that to Skiers choice so hopefully they will reimburse in the labor replacing it.
