Re: kicker hookup
Okay upon investigating under the transom I notice I already have a water separator hooked into the fuel line of the 120 merc. It has 1 port in and 2 ports out the 2 ports are are sealed by allen wrench screws. Is this compatible to hook another fuel line in for the kicker??
Don't quite understand. Are both outlets sealed or just one? If both, how's the fuel getting to the engine? Do either have valves or just the seal?
Can you see a brand and/or model numbe on the unit - the bracket that the cannister screws into?
Can you see a brand and part number on the cannister?
Maybe post a couple of photos if you're unsure.
My guess is that if it has two oulets, you should just go ahead and use both. If there's not valves, if it were me, I'd go ahead and put an inline valve at each outlet, just so you have the option of closing one or both off if you need to.
If you can get the above info, you can probably easily look up info on the filter onlne - basic installation instructions which will tell you if there's any issues regarding unplugging the outlet and using it, and which cannister it takes so you make sure you're using the right one. Will also tell you the flow rate - which in turn will tell you if it's adequate for your engine(s). The flow rate needs to exceed the maximum usage of both your engines so that it never causes a fuel restriction. But that shouldn't be hard since most water sep filters have huge potential flow rates.
