2006 Montauk 150 Fuel Hose Replacement
Posted: Tue Jan 09, 2024 1:54 am
I have a 2006 Montauk 150. I am trying to replace the fuel hose that goes from the transom access panel on the starboard side to under the [helm] seat. [The fuel hose] seems very solidly in place; it [won't] move or shift no matter how hard I pull on either end. The rubber hose seems to be fixed in place somehow.
Q1: where could the rubber fuel hose running between under the helm seat and the transom be fixed in place?
I cannot see where the rubber hose could be fixed in place, so I assume [won't move] just because it is swollen with age.
Give me advice on how to get the rubber fuel hose to move so I can pull it free.
Q2: once I can get the existing fuel hose moving, how can I pull into place a new fuel hose?
I was thinking to cut the old hose, put in a double-sided hose barb, and connect a new hose to the hose barb, and pull in the new hose as I pulled out the old hose.
Suggest another method to pull in the new fuel hose.
