    Another fuel starver to watch out for.

    If you have a fuel line routed through a tunnel along with other stuff, watch out that it doesn't get pinched. <br /><br />Happened to my son. The dealer installed a bilge pump in his BW Montauk and put the cover on with the fuel line on top of the pump. The cover pinched it off.<br /><br /> :)
