Gas leak at connection

[tjakobic]

I have a leak at the connection, leaked when I prime the ball and we noticed the leak after we too the boat out last week. If you look at this picture of the male side it looks like the pin in sitting off to the side. Can any one tell me if I need to replace either side and if I do how do I get the male some out of the motor if there isn't much room to work? Thank you!

You did not say what engine you have, that would help!
Generally there is an O-ring in the female part of the fuel connectors, and usually that is what needs to be replaced.

Good luck, Peter

Grey looking paint....
Mercury style fuel connector...
Is this a Mariner?
