Hello I have an 1986 224 walk around cuddly cabin boat. I believe my tank is 90 gallon in floor.my fuel hose runs from filler on side of boat threw wherever to tank. I smell and see a little gas seepage on floor when I fill it, not running etc. but only when I fill it. I am assuming my fuel hose is rotted or clamp is broke or something. I was wondering if anyone knows size hose I need, how many feet and how to replace it? Also the size of the vet line on fuel tank.
Any help and input would be greatly appreciated.
Thank Frank

You need to measure what you have from the original hoses and replace them all. That will include the vent hose and the hose to the fuel pump since all are suspect if they are the original. I wouldn't use the boat again until this is resolved.

Great advice. May have to tear up the floor to get to it. Boats burn really spectacularly.
