    Sinking help!?

    NO that puts thousands of pounds on your boat hull and trailer that will break things. not to mention it will get water into areas that water wont come out of. use a flashlight and look.

    Volvo Penta | Holley Carb Leak - Fuel Line Connection

    its an inverted flare fitting. if its leaking, either the tube flare is bad, or the inlet fitting in the carb is bad. easy fix, either replace the tube nut and re-flare the end, or replace the inlet fitting. THERE IS NO SEALANT OR SEALING WASHER.

    Increase ground clearance for off-roading?

    You wont find hubs to match your current suburban wheels. You would need adapters, etc The 13" wheels/tires are not limiting your ability to go off-road. The trailer frame, springs, and the bunks/rollers are the limit
