    Need some advice/ direction

    Hey gang! 87 Ranger 360V & I need to replace the fuel lines. What would be the best way to feed them through the no-above access tunnel they go through?

    take loose at one end and tape loose part to new hose or heavy string and pull it out. use string to run new or if new was attached it is there now. ?? if you use a string/rope be sure to leave it for any future runs also

    Pull the seat and on the port side you will see where the fuel lines feed through to the back of the boat. With the seat removed it will give you access to the tanks and the fuel tank selector valve. Super easy to change the lines on those boats.

    I'm going to attempt to pull the new lines through with a small fish tape- wish me luck!

    The run is so short where it needs to pass through you can push the lines through with your hands, no need for fish tape or string. Open the back compartment lid and with the seat off you can use a flash light to see the conduit it needs to run through. Just pull the old lines and feed the new ones and route them like the old ones.
