Yea as soon as I have to or can I will be replacing the line to the motor with a gray hose just for that reason! all the rest will be fine in the boat away from the sun.

As for your question about the water, I sure its not going to be good for it!!

My fix for this is, I have 3 tanks, I am going to fill and then rotate run each tank dry everytime then refill, this way I know I am getting eveything out of it.
In winter I will run tanks empty each trip and not refill them to get the least gas I can in one tank.

Keep extra filters with you and you should be fine!!
