Fuel tank pick up ??
OK So sunday I am over in Sag harbor LI and I am cranking along having a great time in my sutphen when BRRRRRRR one engine slows to a stop.
I try and try to start it but nothing.
SO I limp back home 3.5 hrs at 3MPH on one engine.
I do some checking around and find that the pickup tube in my tank un threaded.
Its about a 16 inch aluminum tube threaded into an elbow with a angle cut at the bottom.
NO big deal I figure I'll just go buy one.
Except I cant find the same thing anywhere.
Its like the one in this thread http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/g...-one-tank.html
except aluminum. anyone know where I can find one?
I wanna take the boat out this weekend.
I can hear it already You can find one at the bottom of your fuel tank.LOL
There lets get that out of the way now.LOL

Thats probably what I will do I just need to find the material before sat.
It would be easier if I could pull one off the shelf somewhere.
I didnt want to go re inventing the wheel if I could go down to Ocean performance and buy one off the shelf or something like that.

I had melnick metals make me a steel one just to get me by for now.
I would like there number lucky strike maybe they can hook me up with an allumnum one.
The week before It happened I hit a nasty set of wakes in the river at speed and came down pretty hard. Must have happened then because it was snapped off in the fitting.
Must have been just holding on for the raide that day it broke in sag harbor
