      What do all think of replacing the copper fuel lines, supply and return, with CG rated 5/16 rubber hose? While every thing is out is seams like a good idea.

      I did. Really cleaned it up! I had some 1/4″ and used it on the return line
      but went 3/8″ from the tank.

      I don’t remember if the original lines were copper or rubber, but they are
      rubber since my repower.

      If you do nothing else during this refit, change the lines to rubber.
      Saltwater and copper do not like each other very much, and if your raw
      water pump ever fails, so will your fuel lines.

      How do I know? Let’s just say I’ve seen it happen.
