This will mount across the transom and catch the bolts for the cav plate hardware.
The tanks are 45 gal per side and have 3/4 NPT fittings on the bottom. Has a tee fitting with the NPT on the run. They have a hose connecting them together (was -10 will be -16). The other fitting on the tank goes to each filter. The outlet of the pumps are tee'ed together and also go to a regulator for each carb. Thinking here is that if one pump craps out both carbs will sill get fuel pressure. Might just save an engine some day.
What do ya think?

SD, really a trick looking piece. I use a piece of Alum angle to back my plate control up, and I have mounted much of the fuel system to it.

Sd, Just wondering if the fuel pressure from one pump could flow backwards through a burned up pump?

Sd, Just wondering if the fuel pressure from one pump could flow backwards through a burned up pump?I tested it with only one pump running and the other one did leak some. But not much, even with both outlets capped it didn't flow much. So I think if one fails I'll still be ok to roll back off the throttle a bit and get back to da beach. I also will have a hobb switch in that line and if the pumps outlet gets lower then 10psi (measured before regulators) a light mounted on the wheel will come on. Will have another hobbs switch/light for oil pressure too.
I might get fancy and toss some check valves in too just for grins.
