 fuel up front just wondering if anyone has a problem running their fuel tanks in the very front of the boat. I've got an 18ft and would like to move my fuel tank under the front deck. Any problems with fuel delivery. Is that to much fuel line? I have a 25hp kohler

Re: fuel up front I dont think you'll have any problems just run the same 1/4" line all the way and put a priming bulb

Re: fuel up front i run 5/16 hose now. Its hard to believe that switch to 1/4 would make that much difference?

Re: fuel up front Buy a firmer in line bulb. Yours may be collapsing. Solved my fuel starvation issues immediately.

Re: fuel up front Mine came from the dealer with 5/16" line, primer ball, and an inline electronic fuel pump. I guess they weren't taking any chances.
