Wheeeeeeeww sigh of relief

Started smelling a gas odor in the bilge this weekend....was fearing the worst -tank replacement....popped the front cover off the tank and its just my gas fill hose gone bad....like mush! Already replaced all fuel lines from tank to motor so now its time for fill and vent hose.... :fam:

Transducer got broken off this weekend, had to remount. I was VERY nervous about drilling into the transome and finding wet wood, or even water seeping out....NEITHER!! Got good wood and dry from the previous holes!!:party:

I love how easy it is to get to the gas fill neck of my tank...great design

I LOVE MY V!!
 
:clap: Sounds like you had a good day then...ethanol got to those old hoses, but if they were original, probably time to change out anyway...glad to hear easy to get to!!:clap:

Hmmmm... I wonder... (sarcastically) is that the same Quote "thoroughly tested, safe, and effective motor fuel." Unquote that the ethanol producers have been shoving down everyone's throats? Seems to me that if an additive disolves the hoses that it's in, and allows the raw gas to leak out it's not all that "safe". Or am I missing something here? :head:
