Remote oil tank cracked on one corner. Repare?

[range_time]

First thanks for the info on the motor. She fires right up now at the 1st touch of the key.

’85 115HP Yamaha if that makes any diffrence.. when i was pulling her all apart this weekend ....It looks like it was dropped and the corner the size of half a penny is broken. Is there anyway to patch this stuff with epoxy putty or anything else anyone can think of? I just don’t have the $350 bucks right now for a new one.

Thanks as always in advance.

Dave

Dave,

With all the four-stroke conversions these days, I would bet that you could call around locally and find a used one for cheap.

Don't know about the epoxy, but a strip of fiberglass with resin should work. Prep the surface well and give time to cure.
