2005 90ELPTO - Motor Fuel Fitting?

[Lerie]

This motor came with the boat I purchased earlier this year. Somehow, in checking it over, I neglected to see that this did not have a quick disconnect fuel fitting on the motor and it did not come with any owners manual. The fuel line is a direct connect from the fuel bulb into the motor. A search of parts manuals on this site, as well as others do not show clearly if this is the correct set up for this. Is this the correct set-up for this motor?

If so - how do you run the fuel out for storage?

My 2002 115 hp has the same setup. It works just fine.

I always add stabil w/each fillup. You never know when you will be layed up and not use the boat a year. Just today I towed a family of 5 in today because their boat wouldn't run worth a crap. He asked me if it could be from year old gas. I asked him if he had used a stabilzer. He said what is that? Now he has $120 worth of useless fuel...tank was full. Repairs will be a few $100 too.

Optimax is dfi fuel system past vat is sealed should not need to be ran out of fuel and running fuel pumps with out fuel could burn them up

Guessing that I will have to catch up with the new technology and reccomendations on how things are done in the present - 'cause in the past the reccomendation was always to run the fuel out even after intoducing stabilizer to the fuel tank.
