I recently bought a Tempo 9Gas http://www.tempoproducts.com/abovetank2.html

Someone had advised that it was the best fit. It is working out well. You'll need an extra brass fitting for the hose connection to turn it 90 degrees.

I have an 8 gallon square tank that fits between the seats at the stearn. Used it for long trips to the San Juans.

I have a Honda 6.6 gallon tank on the step in the lazerette and another 3.5 gallon tank sitting on the bottom. All I have to do is move the fuel line connector between them to switch tanks. It's nice to have a reserve tank on those long trips and 2 tanks are easier to handle than one.

I had a larger steel tank with my original outboard Evenrude. It must have been about six gallon. However, the 9.9 hp Mercury came with a much smaller plastic tank that I found much easier to handle when getting fuel, etc. I did not use lots of fuel and it could get stale in the larger tank. I would stay with a smaller plastic tank unless headed on a fairly long cruise.
