heres the scenario. i finally got a deep cycle battery to go along with the starting battery that i've been running my accesories off of. i ran it like that a couple times for about 4 hours at a clip just off the starting battery and had no issues but i figured it would be the right thing to...
ok so i bought a new fuel line as i was restoring the boat and everything was good with the line and fuel. so today as im headed in to the marina the boat crapped out so i thought it was just running out of gas as the tank was low. so i put the line on the other tank and it turns but wont...
