Thaks fellas for the tips. They refunded me the price on the fuel line and pulled it off their shelves and said they would contact Sierra. Doubt they really will.
Denny I was thinking the same as you that the ethanol could have been a problem. We have all ethanol gas here in calif to my knowledge. So that stuff should not be on their shelves if thats the case. When I told my boat mechanic buddy what had happened he asked if I was using the quote "gray sierra crap fuel line" and I said YES. I asked him if he had ever seen that before and he said no but he stated that the inside of the fuel line typically turns yellow and looks like it is breaking down. I thought I'd post my experience just so someone else can avoid that same problem.
Gillie the prop on the little 130 yamaha (yellow boat) has no markings that I can see it is painted over several times. Looks like a 13x 18 or 19 if I had to guess. Wanna go 4 blade on the blue boat.
I have a 14x21 on the blue boat right now so I think I will go down in diameter and pitch and switch to a 4 blade. Solas 13.75x19 on order! Thanks Lloyd for the offer!
