Diagnostic port connector? TT

As I said in my write-up, I tried 1/4 OD plastic tubing and it hits something solid about 2 or 3 ft down. Maybe I'll try again based on what you said.

My power was out, I live in the sticks, one gas station. His power was out too. I need to run my generator to power fridge, freezer, etc. I've got 25 gals of 0E gas sitting in my Benny. It would be nice to tap that source in an emergency. TT

Thanks, DVW. It gives me some ideas, I'll pull that sensor cover and see what I can do. Also like the idea of tapping into the bulb line. Too late for this emergency, but I'll be ready next time. TT

Maybe I could disconnect something and run the motor's fuel pump?

I think the line has a check valve that won't let it flow unless it's hooked up. TT

We had a bad storm and lost electrical power. To keep my generator running I need more gas. I was trying to siphon gas from my 20SVL but something is blocking my hose. The tank is full but I can't get any out. I even tried a 1/4"od plastic tubing, still won't get down to fuel. Anyone got...

The second one "contains no petroleum lubricants" is the one you want. TT

I put pure silicone spray on mine. Dries dry and will not attract dust. Be careful what you buy, most Si sprays are combined with light oil. Look for pure Si only, spray not grease. TT

I would try to pry up on the pedestal to put pressure on the nuts below. Then tighten the screw heads while tension friction is holding the nut. Maybe a little prayer too. TT

I don't understand why they didn't try to get him closer before the kick.

Bass boats have a 2nd pump that does recirculation only. TT

I have my pump located in the bracket at the rear of the port pontoon. It picks up fine, but my max speed is 27mph. Don't know about faster. TT

I mounted a cooler on my rear deck for storage. TT

There is a friction adjust screw on your throttle.
