Can anyone tell me how difficult it is to remove a fuel tank on a Bavaria 350?  (to clean out diesel bug)  Haven't bought the boat yet so difficult to check!

If it is anything like later Bavarias, not easy to remove as it is located in glassed in supports. Not strictly necessary to remove because I think you will find the tank fitting that has the Guage sender in it is right over the deepest part so you can pump out all the old fuel and rubbish from there. There are  unlikely to be any inspection hatches that you can remove to physically clean the inside.

thanks for the info Symphony, hopefully the 350s were fitted that way.  Will let you know the outcome if the sale goes through.
