Here is my thoughts on this..
Only because of the condition shown in the picture spray some WD and let it soak..
In the interim use a compressor and blow the line back into the tank, your pickup line in the tank has a mesh at the bottom it may be clog with the curd like stuff. Your new filter you mentioned will grab all crap as they are syphoned out the tank by the engine especially if you have the clean out bowl at the bottom
Base on your pictures you DO NOT have the check valve installed its normally a additional nipple screwed in before or after the valve you see or it very well be where the clamp is ..
The fix I mentioned will keep you Boating until season ends then u can start replacing the pickup line and valve if you so desire..
West Marine has the valve and pickup line ...
