I feel for you step, check the the hoses as you mentioned and also the fuel sending unit. There is a seal there where I have had trouble in the past. Hope it isn't the tank. Keep us posted on what your find.

Check your vent line too. Hope you find the leak.

You know blue runner ,I can check the sending unit without taking the panel off there is an access panel right over the sending unit
I didn’t think of that. Thanks.

sending unit seal is a pretty common problem, easily fixed. It normally shows up if you fill your tank full or over full. Same for the fill hose. Good luck.

I didn’t get a chance to find out why or where it’s leaking yet. You know. Winter in nj. When I find out I will post the update. Probably late march or early April

Don t know if you have ever pulled the tank. On my 83,the original was foamed into the fuel compartment with a PVC pipe running under the tank. This was to keep leaking fuel out of the bilge. If u had fuel coming out of the transom drain, might indicate leak is on the top on the tank, where all the hoses are.

Just trying to help u think positive till spring
