Fuel Fill Hose HELP!!!!

[Kahuna]

ODT,
I had the SAME problem on my 2008 3.0 seafari repower. Tank was new, motor new, fuel line new, filter new, only original thing left in the boat was the fuel fill, fill hose and vent hose. why those were never replaced when the original owner did the tank, I will never know. With the tank out, I pulled the old fuel fill and house out. I used a coat hanger to fish a piece of 130lb dacron from the fuel tank space to the gunnel. tied 3 rolling hitches around the hose with teh dacron and pulled. I thought it was going to be alot harder than it was. I had sufficient space under the gunnel to get both hose clamps on the fuel fill.
