How do you plumb a fuel line from the tank to the auxiliary motor (Yamaha T-8 remote) with only one fuel pick-up from the tank on my GW 205. Other boats I had owned in the past had two pick-ups on the fuel tank. I heard if you just tee the main line to the kicker, that may siphon gas back out from the F-250(main power)line and require me to manually pump the bulb each time after a few hours of trolling with the aux. engine.
thanks,

Same here. Both engines connected to the filter housing.

I've heard of a few sterndrives having problems with that type of plumbing. But outboards have primer bulbs with check valves. There is no siphoning effect.
 
There is two ports on the Yamaha filter housing?

Thank you, that's how I will plumb it!
