[QUOTE="thill, post: 504990, member: 4972"] I just came in from cleaning out the tank. It looked like dirt and rotten leaves. It could have hid in the back corner of the tank, and the hot soapy water just didn't knock it loose. But I strongly suspect that it was hiding in the fill hose. I cleaned the tank well, but I didn't check that stupid hose. We will see if any more trash shows up. I pulled the screen from the bottom of the pickup tube. If there is anything else hiding in there, it should get sucked up and caught by the fuel filter in the boat. I'm going to run the boat hard one of these afternoons to make sure there is no more issue. While in there, I bent/adjusted the fuel sender float rod. Before, it always read 5/8 tank. I think it was stuck. Now it moves a little when I tilt the boat up or down, so it seems to be working properly now. As far as selling boats, now is the wrong time of year to sell an aluminum boat around here. There are a ton of them up for sale right now, and at some very good prices. I might even pick up one or two if I see any exceptional deals. They will sell in the spring. They always do. [/QUOTE]
