Why? 2) What is the cost of 6/16" marine fuel line at a marine dealer in various parts of the country? Got quoted $9.97 a foot this morning. Zap If you can't play hurt....stay home.

Take that with you, and they will verify the website exists and match the price. I got 70 bucks off a GPS unit a few weeks ago. Even after sales tax, it was still below Amazon and Buy.com.

If you don't use the marine grade fuel lines, you'll be replacing your fuel lines sooner as they will turn brittle and break. Cliff 1966 13' Sport with a 1993 40hp Yamaha 2 Smoker
