On my '83, the fuel storage compartment in the cockpit is on the port side while the outboard motor is on the starboard side meaning the rubber fuel line has to cross the boat from side to side. I have been running the rubber fuel hose through the starboard scupper and to the motor but find this a nuisance. I'm considering installing an internal hose in the hull with quick disconnect fittings in the fuel storage compartment and outside the transom by the motor. Question is - has anyone tried this or come up with some other solution? Having a fitting in the storage locker and the transom would clean up the cockpit by not having a fuel hose drapped across it.

You could put a thru-hull fitting in the transom from the port cockpit gas locker, then lead your fuel line out of this thru-hull, along the transom above/below the upper gudgeon, to the motor on the port side. To suspend the fuel line, you could probably use adhesive backed cable tie mounting bases to secure and guide the fuel line along the transom to the motor.

In my Cat25, I ran a line behind the cockpit from the starboard side, where I installed a permanent tank in the quarter berth to the port side where I installed a Racor filter, a three way valve to accommodate a three gallon portable tank, and a line to the outboard.

Worked great, but it takes a little time to get the line between the cockpit and the transom, but it can be done.

Thanks for the ideas. I'll have to think this through and add it to my project list for the summer.
