Fuel hose length

[abl1111]

Hey guys. What is the length of 1 1/2" fuel hose needed to get from the filler to a standard tank on a 23' Sceptre i/o ? The filler is in stock location on the gunnel and the tank itself has it's pick-up location in the front/forward part of the tank in the center.

I do not want to pull out the original /shot hose, 'cause I think I may need it to snake the old hose through.

Anyone ever installed a new fuel hose on these boats - chime in w/ any insight. As you know it is a fairly stiff hose and the instal 'seems' a bit tough.

Thx,

Alan

PS: Transom has been manfactured and will be installed within the week ( if the weather holds up ). Then, new stringer/motor mounts. Then, close up enlarged i/o floor space and cover. Then....a beer ? or three...

I support the 3-4 BEER theory !!!
