This question is for the folks with floor access to their in-tank fuel pumps. What size hole do you have/recommend?
Thanks

I checked in with my cutout. The dimensions on ERF's site were perfect for locating the rear (main) tank. I cut a hole 6 1/2 inches in diameter which gave me plenty of space to locate the deckplate and remove the old sender. As recommended earlier, a 6 inch deck plate from West Marine fit. Part No. 11743119 (back in 2017). I traced the outside of the deck plate on the plywood and used my router to trim the plywood so the deckplate was flush with its surface. Then I could place my carpet square over the deck plate and it doesn't show.

I went ahead and installed the 8” deck plates (7” hole) from SeaFlo. Good tight fit with gasket. Used A router to set flush.
Thanks to all.
