Might want to move the primer bulb to the splashwell to keep potential leaks or fumes from getting in the bilge, especially right by your batteries. Move your fuel filter there too if not already there.

Yup. Solid hose from the tank to the filter located in the splashwell outside any underdeck area. Primer bulb in the hose coming from the filter to your engine. The idea is to reduce to zero any chance of gas fumes collecting in your bilge just waiting for a spark to ignite them

Just wanted to thank Spare again for the advice on changing the mechanical fuel pumps on the Yamaha, I spent the entire morning out fluking and restarted the boat 20/30 times ,she ran perfectly! I don't get a whole lot of time to spend out their so the little time I do is real precious to me and the help is as always much appreciated !
