Because the original fuel fills could be reached neither from the cockpit nor the wheelhouse I had them moved forward so that I could reach them from the wheelhouse  doors, where they should've been in the first place. However, a good yard did this work and the original openings were sealed. In addition, I put a red label on each saying do not use. I had this done on both my first NT 37, Odyssey, and on Nomad as well. And for FR. later models, the factory has moved the fuel fills to a more convenient location.

Haha – I’ve just gotten lazy and rotate the boat 180 degrees during filling so I can stand on the dock.  Was getting tired of floating over the water to fill the outside tank.  Not to mention my knees 😊.

Just a thought  – the original owner might have only had access to a fuel dock with the fat nozzles which are a pain for our boats. Nonetheless – sounds like a poorly done DIY project.

Nothing wrong with moving them. I have made tons of changes to our boat in lots of areas.

However, leaving an apparent fuel filler completely open to the inside of the boat is "nutty".
