I want to replace the fuel line (compression fittings on both ends) between the tank and the solenoid valve. Its about 10 inches long. I dont see this part anywhere. Do I get one made up at a 'hose shop'???

You can remove the old one, take it to a local auto shop and have it made. Or, you can make it yourself.

Why the replacement of the line?

Also can you post a photo of the hose as it sits now?

My mechanic showed me a hose from another Sea Ray where the fittings start to fail at a certain age and He suggested I change mine as preventative maintenance . Then I noticed the one on port had been replaced at some point by the prior owner, but not the one on starboard.

Ok, now we all have a better understanding of the hose. If you have a shop that builds hydraulic hoses I would take it to them. Make sure they use a compression fitting on fuel grade hose. Any shop that does hoses can help you.

B&B Rubber in Hampton VA. Does all of my hoses. I trust them.
 
Page 76 of your parts manual has a diagram of the fuel system with part numbers.

I dont have a Parts Manual
I only have an Owners Manual which does not does not. It does not even have a page 76. Page 5.1 has a diagram of the fuel system showing that hose section which is not identified.

Thanks. My mechanic now said there is a local hose company that will make it while you wait. I found the part number but its all components of the hose, not assembeld.

On one side it was replaced at some point with normal (USCG) hose and hose clamps down to the fuel pump. I guess I should change that also. Aren't these relatively low pressure gas lines? Do they really require the heavy crimped lines? Imoding it anyway, just curious
