In going from a single to twins, obviously, I will need another water separator or at least I think for each motor is that right? I do have two fuel lines in and two out on my current one although one isn't used...not sure that one will supply enough fuel to both motors. Also, does the size of the separator matter. Two 150hpo vs one 225hp? Guess I will need separate primer bulbs for each motor as well?

Some seperators are 40GPH. That should be sufficient for your twins. Use 3/8" fuel line fro each motor and 1/2" fitting and hose from seperator to tank.

Is there a way to tell what GPH mine is? both hoses from the tank are 1/2 inch....

You probably need to consult the manufacturer and ask him.
