Dan you are correct on the other two fittings. Then in front of the 3 is the access for fuel gauge sender. The fueling tubing does not bend or handle easily. With the imbedded wire support it DOES NOT make turns or bends well. Lastly I don’t have a grasp on “belly tank”. Let me know if I can share m...

I’ll try to attach a pic. My tank was too high to accommodate running the fuel line to the gunwale. The fill tubing with the metal in it would not bend to get to the gunwale. Had to make access thru the deck. Not an answer to your question. Just an option

Thanks for the inquiry Reklus. I don’t know of any reasonable opportunities to weigh the rig with boat off and boat on. Earlier I was in transition of a friends trailer and then my own trailer. The finished weight would be of interest but can’t see it being a factor to the fish. Still working throug...

Thanks capeman. That is the next prop in the mail. Be a month before I can run it. Yes on jack plate. Performance trials coming up and yes I’ll take fries with the new prop! Thanks
