Does it matter where the recirculation hoses are routed? (1992 90hp V4)

[fire7882]

I'm just finishing up the powerhead for my project boat but I'm not sure if the routing of the recirculation valves is important.

Do the hoses need to be a certain length or routed a certain way to move the fuel effectively? The motor is a 1992 90hp ve90tlend crossflow. The way I have them now looks as if the the lines for cylinder 1 and 2 at the carb will get in the way of the throttle linkage. Can i run these out the other side and under the carbs up to the port for the center bearing?

Also, is this the correct way to connect the lines?
#4 carb to #2 cylinder
#3 carb to #1 cylinder
#1 and #2 carb to center crank bearing.

Thanks in advanced for any help.

If no one has any objections, I going to route them like I mentioned above. Can anyone confirm that this will work?

#3 to #1 bypass cover
#4 to #2 bypass cover
