Kicker and mercruiser fuel sharing

[redneck joe]

So as usual way overthought and over bought but she is in and tested, at least in the driveway. Didn't go with ricks quick disconnects but may in the future. Interesting was the location of the transom to kicker run, on the Garelick adjustable mount. At first i was trying to do as the crow flies but offset about 6 inches and a few extra inches of line worked much better.


Thanks for the help folks.

Oh and put the pump ball between transom and kicker for ease of access.

So did you do one line into the fuel seperator then 2 lines out with a primer bulb on each ?

 

[redneck joe]

Yes but only one bulb, I ran it for about 15 min then when i fired up the main all went well for another 30. Thinking the original out on the separater has a check ball in it.

Final update. Hit the water for a few hours yesterday and ran the kicker for maybe an hour of that and all perfect. Even ran both at idle speed for a bit and no issues. I think i should post this in the best mod thread. Sooooooo nice to have a kicker again and sooooooo nice not to have to jack with a separate tank.
