I think I know the answer but figured I'd ask any way to be sure.
I finally got the hard gray attwood line off the new to me pontoon. The hose bulb and engine end fitting were 5/16.
The fitting at the pontoon gas tank is 3/8. That kind of makes since since the boat is rated up to 75 hp.
But with a 50 on it 5/16 would be the norm. Somehow the PO or his mechanic managed to force 5/16 over a 3/8 fitting.
Anyway, I was going to just get all 3/8 line, bulb and fittings. Can't see any harm in using bigger line.
But if someone knows of a reason not to use 3/8 on a 50 hp let me know.
It's a 1999 Johnson 50hp.
