It's really not a good idea to run your kicker off the same fuel supply as your main. If your main fuel tank gets contaminated with anything you can always use your kicker to get home. But if they run off the same tank then you're screwed.

That's how mine appeared to have been set up. But there was no kicker motor when I got it... just a bracket. So I removed the bracket and the three-way valve. Who needs a kicker when you can have Sea-Tow!
