fuel tank moved forward about 4 inches

fuel tank moved forward about 4 inches
I have 2006 family crusier with about 125 hours and my two fuel tanks have (slipped) moved forward about 4 inches. I need to move them back and replace the green hose that was put on my boat at the factory by mistake and replace the hose with fuel friendly hose. I wonder if any other owners have had this problem. Some think if I put too much pressure to move the tanks backward about four inches the plastic might crack. Please contact me at 765 284 0000. Thanks for any help you might give me.

Re: fuel tank moved forward about 4 inches
The fuel should be removed from the tanks before you try to move them. They may crack or not but why take the chance. Empty or near empty they should be relatively easy to move
A real question is why they moved. Likely the fuel in the tanks slopping around caused them to move. Not good. That says they are not secure at all.
How are they secured? There should be some heavy tabs secured to the hull , or a curb to keep them in place. Straps over the top will help hold them down but cannot be relied on for the total job.
