I replaced my fuel pump and filter yesterday. While I was in there I discovered a 7/16" layer of water in the bottom of the tank!

So I wired up some extention wires to hook the old pump to the battery, connected a long run of 5/16 fuel line and pumped the tank dry. A guess is I got 2 - 3 gallons of water out. I wiped the inside of the tank as far as I could reach with a rag.

The new pump and filter will be starting as fresh as possible now.

How difficult was your charger install? How long did it take?

Install was not tough. I hate wires, so the hardest part was routing everything so it was hidden. I used a flexible rod to fish all the wires from my mounting location, under the floor and then to the battery box. All in all, it took probably 3 nights and a 12-pack!

Thanks.

I bought a Guest 16102. It is a dual bank 12amp (6amp per bank). I then installed a flush receptacle.

That's absolutely beautiful! I'm going to be winterizing my boat here within the next two weeks. I'm going to work the gel-coat over good. If I'm lucky, it will shine out like yours.
