The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
If you have a mechanical fuel pump it keeps fuel at the ready so you don't have to crank so long. The check valve on my last boat went out and I would have to crank for what seemed like forever to get it to fire if it sat for more than a day.
I don't think that's entirely correct. It's an anti-siphon valve that keeps fuel from siphoning into the bilge if the fuel line is broken between the tank & the pump. It's a CG required safety device.
