fuel line size

[Randy Janousek]

I bought my boat new last year, but the engine is an '08 opti 115. I would like to change the fuel lines. The boat is covered very nicely right now so I cannot get inside an check the size of the fuel lines. Are they 5/16 or 3/8? I would like to order parts.

They should be 5/16. Be sure to change the primer bulb as well.

How far into the motor should I proceed with the line change? I was factory trained on these black beauties, but that was in the early 70's - they are a whole different animal now!!

Just the "grey" stuff. All the other hose should be good for a few years.

Thank you.
