Re: Fuel filler hose replacement

So what you are saying is to thread the inch and one half I.D. hose DOWN from the gunwale to the tank after connecting it securely to the old hose? I have connected the old and new hose with tie wraps and have been trying to pull up from the tank to the gunwale and it's just not working.

Yep. Tie wraps won't do it though. You need wire clamps or worm-screw clamps as well as a two-ended hose nipple to connect the two hoses. I have done a few of these over my 40+ years of boating. I have failed to bring a hose up from the tank once or twice. I have never failed to pull one down from the gunwale.
Oh yeah. It's easier if the tank is removed.
