2 Gas tanks--manual swithcover leaking air

[uk_bassman]

Topic says it all. The manual switch over on my 2 gas tanks is leaking a small amount of air. Boat will run fine if you pump the ball and take off and will run for as long as you want. A couple of weeks ago I ran 15 miles without shutting her down and didn't have any problems. Problem is when I stop and fish my ball will go flat and the motor wont start until the ball is pumped again. Pump the ball and bump the key and she is good to go. I have replaced the ball, so I know that's not the issue, plus I can smell a little bit of gas around the switchover. Anybody know how easy this is to replace and if this should fix my problem?

I've heard that's a common problem on Stratos boats, and that replacements are hard to come by. Probably get an answer at a dealer or on the Stratos board.
