    Rodd,
    I can’t find the exact order for parts, but here is one link. I couldn’t source a 90 degree part here in US, so just used these with the “best” fuel hose I could find. I cut the hose to fit between each fuel injector/banjo and added a tie wrap to each barb. This banjo is for the fuel hose I bought.

    ** You’ll need the crush washers also below the banjo fitting. Buy from this same company as ridiculously expensive at Westerbeke.

    Depending on how your current line in/out is constructed, may need a few straight thru connecters and use the same fuel hose on both sides.

    Let me know if you need anything else like pic’s or a quick call.

    This project has also been on my “to do” list.

    While I did not personally view any hull flexing underway, I did see some trim pieces around the forward shelves “shifted” after she was bounced around during Irma. While Indulgence never left the mooring, other boats that broke loose did make impact on the hull. So i’m not entirely sure what caused the trim shift…seas or collision.

    The information here will make this project much easier for me to complete. Thanks all for sharing.

    ** I have another question to post in another topic after seeing the anchor chain in these photos.

    Thanks again!

    The Windlass on Indulgence is very undersized and is on my scope to upgrade. Here is my question which I’ve gotten different answers on.

    Is there a horizontal windlass (1500) that can facilitate chain & rope on same clutch?

    Boaters tell me Tigress can but after attending the Miami boat show, vendors are stating that is incorrect without disengaging the clutch and using the drum for line.

    I also heard from one vendor that supported different models that Lewmar seems to be the manufacturer that has that feature over the others.

    What say ye?

    Hoping I can get some assistance with bases in general.

    Does anyone know if the bases are without any degree inward/outward OR better where can these bases be bought?

    We’ve had Irma damage here in Florida Keys and myself and another owner are in need of bases and stanchions. http://drmarine.com says he has them but needs to know more specifics.

    I’ve looked at mine and two other 424’s and cannot definitely determine a consistent answer!
