Having a 88 Fourwinns 205, I have it easier than most to access the engine, even though some things have to be done by feel. But last fall, I replaced the auto rubber fuel line that came with the boat. And had a leak yesterday, due to a sears double flarer that maybe was too small. Anyway- rip out the doghouse and get it onto swim platform, remove hoses in the way, remove seperator, pull fuel pump, as fitting can't be unscrewed with it on engine.
Put all back together; $10 in parts, but 5 hours off being a contortionist. (oh, that turned into a 18 beer deal)

Hmm, it didn't allow the edit. But you'all get too much flack from people that have never attempted to work on their boat.
