Disconnect the fuel line from the motor and pull bulb and all back through the boot so it is all in the bilge...leave the plug out and run the end of the line through the drain hole so that the end of the line is lower than the tank, and out the back of the boat...pump the bulb and the fuel will flow...what it runs into is up to you...

If the boat's fuel line won't flow as described, find another hose w/a bulb in it...remove the tank's top plate that holds the sender and drop the long end of your new line down into the BOTTOM of the tank, run the other through the drain hole and pump bulb...some kind soul left such a set up in my '84 and it worked like a champ..you may have to strap a weight to the end so it stays on the bottom of the tank...
