Dang Rick, that is the shizzle....spent the better part of the day yesterday searching THT on this very subject. Looks like you hit pay dirt with little effort? Guess I was holding my mouth wrong?
P.S. "Rib-Fest" is going on accross the street from work today thru Saturday. I fully expected to be overwhelmed by smokey azz juicy rib smells as I walked up the sidewalk. All I could smell was diesel smoke and a touch of charcoal. They just don't know how it is supposed to be done! I'll be going over there 3 - 4 times a day. ;-)

Got the fuel pickup removed. G said we needed a pipe wrench....did the trick. No anti-siphon valve. What looked like two pine needles came out of the pickup tube tho. I've only got like 10 gallons in it right now. I thinking pump it out?
The pickup tube is just a flexible rubber tube crimped on the elbow at the top. At the end there is a copper piece crimped on. The copper piece has a spring in it. The top of the spring is bent over across is the middle of the passage, I'm assuming to keep big stuff out? Anybody seen this? The rubber tube shows no signs of wear from ethanol. Everything looks good. Better than I expected.

Blue - just read this thread and the other on the floor removal to access the tank. What happened? Did you have a fuel issue? Clogged?
I ask because I have the same boat and I just had a fuel issue myself - though it looks like the fuel pump on my engine just went.

Rarely happens, but will be going along just fine, then starves for fuel. I shut down and primer bulb is flat as a pancake. To fix, I disconnect the fuel line going into the H2O sep and blow back down into the tank. I thought the hose barb might have the antisiphon valve sticking, but I found it does not have one in it. It about has to be inside the tank. By the way, my fuel pump went out about 2 years ago. Symptoms I had then included not being able to reach desired RPM.

Yesterday I had to enlist my brother in law to help me remove the fill hose from the tank in order to get a siphon in there. Boy that thing must've been there since day one. It was practically glued on! Lots of grabbing, twisting with pliers, prying with big screw drivers, spraying lube....finally she started to move and we got it off. I lengthened a fuel hose with a primer ball, weighted the end and dropped it into the back corner of the tank. Siphoned out approx. 12 gallons. I could not see any debris? Ended up dumping it all in my truck....at which point I notice trash in the bottom 12 ounces left in the tank(s). So that tells me the issue IS trash in the tank. Now, fingers crossed that my truck fuel system does not suffer from this!
 I'm thinking about repositioning the boat and trying to siphon from the front corner.....I'm sure there's more trash in there....... Anybody ever have to have a tank pumped out?
