I’m have a 1983 evinrude 70hp on my boat I have 2 6gal portable tanks under the splash well I have room to put the tanks under my center console so it would be about 7- 8’ of fuel line to get to the motor Could I run that long of a fuel line or will it not work?

My tanks are as far forward as they can be and my fuel lines are over 15 feet long.. My primer bulbs would not work if near the motors so I have them about half way..

You could put the gas tank clear downtown (slight exaggeration) As said, put the primer as close to the tank as practical.

That's one way to get a few extra gallons of fuel without another tank
