I own a 2002 Aquasport 190 Osprey. It has a '02 Johnson 115 Outboard (2 stroke) on it as well.... I bought the boat a few months back and from what I know, I've only been the third owner. Apparently its had some modifications along the way and I've been slowly replacing some parts that probably shouldn't have be there in the first place. Whoever worked on the boat in the past apparently did things half a** and I'm just now finding some of these things out. One in which I'm replacing the fuel lines, fuel filter and primer bulb. My dilemma is that there are about 4 spliced lines on this boat. Two are running from the tank to the fuel filter and two more running from the filter to the motor... All in which are different sized fuel lines. The line running from the primer bulb to the motor in 3/8 line so I thought "OK" I'll use 3/8 throughout the whole boat. I'm not for sure, but after looking at the line that came off the tank, its definitely not 3/8 line.. its a lot bigger. Maybe even bigger than 5/16... so this brings me to my question.
What size line am I supposed to use? Why would there be so many different sized lines in the boat? Is this common to have a bigger line from the tank to the filter.. then a smaller line from the filter to the motor? I'm not a mechanic, so please be patient with me when it comes to understanding this stuff. The main thing is that I want to make sure I'm using the right sized fittings on this boat.
Thanks in advance on whatever advise you can give me...
