New Float Project

[MSM1970]

Shane, I've been looking at the tracks some more and I do think I'll end up going that direction... I think I'll need a 4', 3', two 18" and maybe 2 at 12" in my wish list set up... I'll start with the two long ones for the back of the boat.  They will be the most important to the boat set up... 

Justin, thanks for the info and it's crazy how expensive new motors are these days...  Hopefully this motor will be strong and run well for me... I've been working on the fuel line lately and I probably need to ask a question to everyone, has anyone put a "T" fitting on the fuel line out of the boat tank to the motor?  I want to split the fuel line to my main and kicker motor, they both use unmixed fuel, so I can just use fuel from the same tank, but I'm not sure if it will limit the fuel flow too much.  I don't worry about the kicker motor, but I am a little concerned about starving the fuel to main motor at full speed... Do I need to upsize the fuel line to 3/8" diameter instead of 5/16"?  On snowmobiles in the hillclimbs we used to have to put additional pumps and bigger supply lines so we didn't starve the engines for fuel, but they relied on the fuel for lubrication as well, so maybe it won't be as important on an outboard... Just curious if anyone has had issues doing this?  Thanks J

Ya I had one on my old boat, it worked ok AS long as there is no leak of it being able to suck air back through the kicker fuel line,  if  you can  come right off the tank with a diffrent stand pipe in the tank is best,  for what you ate doing tho,  if possible I would put a shut off valve at the T fitting, at least carry vise grips to pinch off the kicker fuel line,  MAKE sure to buy OEM  fuel lines,  I tried several aftermarket cheaper ones,  this is why I know to have vise grips,  after I put OEM fuel line on with the T fitting all was good,   it is in the primer bulb that is the problem,  the cheaper ones are cheaper and will alow air to come back and into the big engine,  it works, but keep something to pinch the lines off if needed,,,
