As long as you can route it with moderate bends the dayco hose is a good choice and available most anywhere...

Of course the dealership would answer your inquiry about bottom paint, ask him how much and you'll know why he answered. Talk to a few neighbors and find what paint works in your area then paint it yourself.

The old prop was never greased and now you know how to remove brass!

I got the boat a couple of years ago and spent most of last summer replacing old parts. This summer I've been able to use the boat some but I find there's always something needs fixing..

I bet you had a few pucker moments with that!:)

Here's what one of mine looked like after about 25 years in what I think was fresh water tho who knows with a used boat. The other side was even worse...(a replacement on the right)

I live close by Arrowhead and have visited the feather craft gathering. It's awesome!

Can't help you but I think your headed for endless problems.. that said, good luck!

You didn't buy that boat from Bondo did you?

OP mentioned that fuel was dripping in the carb, so he may have more than one gremlin...

Maybe some debris got knocked loose when you worked on the fuel line and it lodged In a pre filter or float valve... since you mentioned fuel dripping in the carb My guess is the float valve has dirt in it..

If this problem came up after installation of tee I would suspect it caused the problem.
