I have twin 175HP 2 strok OB's on my boat. I'm thinking of putting a water seperator on it. The local marina is telling me 1 per engine, West Marine says one with 2 ports will work.

Any tips?

Re: Water seperator

I picked up my boat from winter storage tonight, and didn't get to look at my fuel system real well, but from what I could see, my mounting location is going to be a real pain, but, I can do it if I run extra hose to it. Does anyone know if there are any limits on the hose length?

Re: Water seperator

There is no practical limit on hose length. Figure those motors could use 17.5 Gal/hour of fuel. Size water seperator(s) appropriately. You could get by with one seperator if it is 40 Gal/hour of more. Fuel line must be 3/8" to each motor, and I would think 1/2" to the fuel tank.
