With all the feedback on where to put the external tank, I'm wondering
why not just make a bracket that mounts on the motor and holds the tank
right above the engine? It'd need a linkage of some sort to keep it
level when the engine is tipped out of the water. Hmmmmmmmm.

Just dreaming. 1 week 4 days until the ramps open.........
