Used the engine fuel pump to prime the new lines and new filter all the way to both fuel tanks. Worked! Started with a fuel line in a gas can and then switched it to the boat system while the motor was running. Never a hiccup!

Well, I went looking for the cause of my non-functioning fuel gauge,(like the repair was Kryptonite, been putting it off for 6 months). Turned the key on and viola, the fuel gauge works again... So now what? I tell you what , I gave the eurethane a good seal coat of Awlcare and thanked heaven above for the assist.. You see, as a bonehead, I did not take into consideration the placement of the sending unit in relation to the baitwell. It is all undr the floor hatch which has a console, t-top, well you get the picture. It will be a small PITA to replace the sending unit, so I am really happy it started working again. But the the question does arise, WHY ? What is making it work intermittently? Loose connection?

My guess is lose wire! But I hate gauges and they never seem to work, so I learnecd were and when I would run out and always went out with a full tank! Even when I sold my Sea Ox it had 110 gal gas in it!!
