Fuel fill length
 
Anyone know how long the fuel fill hose is? Mine is cracked and needs replacement. I can access it from the rod holder hole, however, it is jammed between the cap and a stringer and I can't get it out to measure the length. With the price of hose I'd rather not buy too much just to cut off three feet of excess. it looks like I need about eight feet but I'm not sure.

Just wait till you get that one out before buying! This way you get it right, its not like you can do anything till you get that one out anyway.

At $8 a foot, do like MJ says!!

And do your vent line and hoses from tank to filter and engine at the same time, if one was going they will all need to be done.

While your replacing all you gas lines replace any clamps that look bad and use double clamps on all connections.

You may want to leave that hose in place and use it to pull the new one through. To get a measurement disconnect the line at the tank and run a piece of flexible material through till it shows up at the other end than mark the line and pull it out.

you are actually better off pulling the original hose out and pulling a pull line or two with it. it is hard to measure with some diffrent material.

Thanks for the length. I came up with about seven feet. I'm slightly rerouting the hose so I just ordered an eight foot piece. It should be here this week.
