View the latest post Fueling a Kicker motor
- Posted by: dcrahn » October 30th, 2018, 7:59 am
- Forum: Gas Engines/Transmissions
I have a 20hp Yamaha motor I'm going to use as a Kicker motor in case of main engine failure. I didn't want it hanging off the back of my swim platform all the time. So i made a quick release bracket that only take a minute to mount and I also made a secure and lockable cradle for the outboard on the cockpit deck. What I'm working now is to get fuel to it. I want to tap in to the main tank and would like some input on the best way to do it. I want to put a fuel connection thru the hull on the outside of the transom that will feed directly from the tank using the factory line with squeeze bulb primer, will it draw fuel up and that far? Or should I tap in to the the line after my electric fuel pump on the main engine which would require turning on the ignition switch to operate? Input welcomed.
