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.
