The gas tank cover is not a structural piece. It just needs to be secured enough that it firmly stays put. There's no reason it has to be secured within an inch from it's edge/perimeter. So moving the screws another two inches inboard to those blocks would be perfectly fine. Keep it simple - no reason to get too crazy with this.
I would, however, take the extra step of overdrilling the stringer where the those block's screws will enter the stringer. Fill the hole with epoxy, then run the screws into the epoxy. That eliminates any chance of water entering the stringers via those screws. Doesn't take much time, but is worth it for the long run.
Regarding your fuel tank....
When I pulled the tank out of my Cobalt (it sits above the floor) there was come corrosion on the bottom where it had bee wet a long time. There were several deep pits that had me concerned enough that I thought about having a new bottom made. Then a friend told me about a place that does a baked on coating on classic car fuel tanks. I took my tank (56 gallon) to him and I had it done. The first clean the outside of the tank and then do a light etch to the surface. Next the coating is applied and baked on. It looks like a spray in bed liner but not as thick. I don't remember the cost but it was reasonable. They are in Stockton, CA. Might be something to look in to.

Start a new thread with the correct title, post the docs or links that you and hopefully a moderator will make it a sticky.Is there a part of the Sea Ray Club forums that can be used to put documents into for other people use?
I have a brochure, outdrive installation, owners manual, etc. The only thing on the Sea Ray site is the spec sheet and there isn't any interest in adding material for sharing so it's up to forums like this to help maintain the past.
This won't be a Sea Ray item but rather a Mercruiser item. I would check eBay first. Always a lot of stickers there. Or you may have to buy another cover....new or used.Anybody know where to find the Sea Ray sticker (circled in red) for the top of the Engine (4.3V...although I don't think it's any different than other engines) air cleaner?
see photo.
Thanks in advance.
