    Default Vapor Lock Fix

    This is what I did and it works. There was no air going in the engine hood The only intake and vent were on the back corners of the boat. No flow, so I added 2 intakes and also put a vent intake on the engine compartment by the fuel pump and added the flex line to the left side of the engine compartment.
    This sure beats putting in a aux fuel pump and saved me a lot of money.
    What do you guys think?

    I get on and off the boat from the steps in the bow. Also the flex hose has a qiick disconnect that I can twist off and store the flex hose out of the way if I want to.
