I love reading the Forum and just joined. I'm now looking for your help.
Has anyone had a leaking center fuel tank on a Mainship 43 Pilot? Apparently there is no access to the center tank and the option I've been told is to remove salon floor and replace. I did a little research on Triton Liners. Has anyone used them for fuel issues? Any knowledge on this subject will be appreciated.
 
I think that your best option is to pull up the floor, remove and replace the tank.

How big is the fuel tank? If it has very much capacity it will have baffles in it. So you won’t be able to put in a liner without removing the baffles. Then there is the possibility, probability, that the liner will leak. I would bite the bullet and as said above cut out the floor and put in a new tank. Then you will have the opportunity to install it properly so it won’t leak in the future. Good luck and have fun!
 
Lots of recent threads on tank issues generally. Use the "search" function, above.
My own was solved without too much surgery, an access panel, from https://www.seabuilt.com/
and butter the leak source from inside, with gunk found here: https://www.belzona.com/en/products.aspx
Not cheap, except when compared with a tear out and full replacement, then really cheap.

Good luck
