With a little help from his YouTube friends, boatbuilder Andy Miller has designed the fuel locker covers for his Bertram’s fuel tanks. In a prior video, he asked for input from his viewers about how to best construct the fuel locker covers for his Bertram restoration. Using the Coosa board and some Thixo Flex, Andy built a box that will withstand some movement and flexing in the hull, yet will be a solid, safe entry for his fuel hose. Andy’s Boatworks Today YouTube channel is full of loyal fans who both seek and offer plenty of boating advice, and his viewers reminded Andy that simple is the better solution for many of the best ideas.
