    350 Mag couplers 18643A5 or 18643A7

    Second fuel tank

    Don't know how good the fuel pump sucks, but think your looking at doubling the amount of fuel that would need to lifted do it. I'm seeing a single 1/4 inch fuel line going to 1/2 after the Tee. This means it has to pull twice the amount of fuel up. They will probably stay the same level...

    2003 Ebbtide Mercruiser 3.0 engine rattle? Normal?
