This photo shows the original fuel tank installation on a 2002 22 Cruiser. These are 25-gallon tanks (not Moeller brand). As you can see, they come forward slightly past the splashwell, thus the cover panels only run up about 7/8 height. Somewhat interestingly (in a leverage sense), the straps that run over the tanks run from the top of the cover panel over the tank and down to the sole behind the tank at the transom. With my new tanks I'm switching this around, so the strap runs from the bottom/sole at the forward side of the tank to the transom near the top of the tank. Thus the cover panel will not be involved (also the newer, 23-gallon tanks will tuck "behind" the splashwell and allow for full height covers). See more about installation in next photo.
