Hey guys,
Here is my issue. This is the second trip out since bringing the boat out of winterizing. First trip boat ran great but this trip I got a low oil alarm on the second start up. I also smelled gas so I trolled back to the ramp and here is where I am at.
Engine mounted tank is 3/4 full and remote is a little over half full. I tried bleeding the engine tank by loosening the cap and running the engine but it did not fill up and I found my gas leak. The gas leak was coming from the center of the top of the fuel filter that goes into the pump. There is a small “circle” that the gas was coming out of…very weird.
I did check the remote tank and got about a 1/4 turn on one cap. I ordered a new fuel filter so I am down until it comes in. I also ordered the small oil filters just to be on the safe side.
Are the 2 issues related? The reason I ask is the book says to make sure the fuel system is primed before bleeding the tank. And if not, any tips on where to start with the tank?
