    I replaced them on my direct drive Supra last year (so there was no fuel tank in the way). They were fastened with flat head machine screws from the bottom and nylon lock nuts inside and glued with 3M 5200 (or some other really gnarly stuff). They have used the exact same casting for decades (my 1986 has the exact same part number fin as my 2018 ), so you should be able to order that part from Skier's choice.

    SC part number: 102820

    Haven't replaced one but I'm so it's thru bolted like the strut. You'll know as soon as you try removing the bolts they'll probably spin.

    They are thru-hull bolted. You’ll have to pull the fuel tank, which is actually quite simple. It’s also a good opportunity to scrub the bilge while it’s out.

    Unscrew the two floor panels, pull up. Disconnect the fuel hoses and the tank will lift right out. You probably want to syphon out the fuel first.

    It’s an easy job!

    Well, you can't exactly recycle the beer back into the keg.
