Fuel Tank Cleaning

I have a 1957 17' CC runabout. Despite using marine Stabil, during a period of nearly two years when the boat was unused, it appears that gum has built up on the tank bottom. Other than removing and replacing the tank is there anyway to clean it out? Thanks.

Problem: When the boat is running (even with blower and lights off), the battery discharges at every level of rpms, never getting past the centerline and often well below. When I check the volt...

Choke Cable

1957 17' Chris Craft runabout. Choke cable sticks in full out position, won't go back in. Any suggestions?
