Yeah I get all that jimmbo . Is the afore mentioned bonehead still allowed to fit his uscg approved fuel line himself ? Just that Im thinkin that its the fitting of the fuel line rather than the line itself thats likely to give rise to any safety issues

A Service Shop, certainly will not use Noncompliance Parts, at least any Competent and Ethical Shop. As for Do-it-Yourselfers... Insurance Companies can and will deny Claims, including Liability if a non USCG certified Part, caused a Problem. And they are pretty good at finding things like that out, as a lot of Do-it-Yourselfers go around shooting their Mouths off about how well they Maintain and Repair their Boats themselves, and even more so when they are crowing about how much Money they save by just using Parts they got at O'Reilly's, instead of at the Dealership, 'Cause to them', the only difference is that Dealer is just marking up the same Part...

If it's #1 that is the Problem, try to get a look at the Top of the Block, for Oil. I am mentioning this cause if the Upper Crankshaft Seal is worn, Oil can get out, more important though, is that Air can get in, leaning the Top Cylinder.
