I switched to the Mercury connectors, having had troubles with both the Yamaha and OMC connectors leaking. The Mercury connectors stick out a long way, and are tough to disconnect - but they don't leak.
Regarding the ankle biting, the elbow fitting on my tanks (Moeller) can be rotated - can you simply turn them to get them out of the path of traffic?

Thanks tedious for this update and suggestion. My tanks are Tempo and I am not sure if the connector can rotate... I wonder if anyone knows if they do.
I did make a discovery this weekend... turns out I can push the tanks farther back - I guess I just had them resting on the bar at the bottom so the fuel line would reach.
New revelation... I went to run the fuel line under the deck in the tunnel repurposing some fuel line from another motor (I have 11') - it turns out that the fuel line has been recalled. Here's a photo of the fuel line for anyone who is interested.
