Ok, nipped that right away. What about the pushlock fittings and just using a regular SS hose clamp on type A1 fuel line? I have read the regs and this would seem to comply.

Yeah I found USCG line for my new project. Looks like I will stay compliant. Thanks for a great thread.

And for the record...... I emailed K & N and yes, their flame arrestors are SAE and USCG certified.

05-03-2009 09:22 PMFor the past few years our local boat club holds a boat rally where we have the USCG Aux come out and inspect the boats. This helps our members and non members that attend to be sure their boat is up to specifications. Doesn't hurt meeting some of the USCG Aux personnel on land and getting some tips on safer boating.

I just passed the safety inspection this past weekend. Good to know that if I do get checked out on the water I have everything that I need to pass.

And it would not hurt to take a safe boating course also.

I think every single person should be required to take a safety boating course if you 1) own the boat and 2) are the spouse/SO of the boat.
My husband, who boated before we met, had me take a safety boating course the spring before we started boating. I made my kids take it also and they were 21 and 18 when they took it.

01-21-2010 02:19 PMWell for what its worth im doing a complete repower on my formula and although the temptation may be there to cut a few corners on some items such as fuel lines or ignition parts. I have to be honest with myself and say could i live with the thought of a fire or explosion on the boat and risk the lives of my family and friends over saving a few bucks. I am just now purchasing all the fuel system parts and they are not cheap. If I cant afford it right now I just wait until the funds are there. I lost a completely restored truck to one of those braided fuel lines it chaffed and sprayed fuel all over the coil. the fire spread so fast it was lost in minutes. I cant imagine being in a boat with no where to go but in the water. all my fuel lines on the pressure side of the pump are now solid steel line with double flare fittings. I buy the coast guard approved hose and the related parts. Your passengers lives depend on you. off soap box now thanks Paul.

01-26-2010 02:51 PMIt seems that all USCG fuel lines are ntp not #'s like 8 or 10. So you will not be able to use Aluminum fittings such as aeromotive, russel etc.

Unless they've changed recently NO Aluminum fittings were USCG legal.
