Fuel fill access ‘06 300 Marlin

[Thedink]

Has anyone replaced their fuel fill hoses on the 300 Marlin?
Looking for tips to get this done. Access is almost zero.

Did anyone have to cut an access hole?
Looking for suggestions.

I did fuel tanks on my 268 Islander. I cut a 12”x12” access opening in the gunnel. If done on flat surface it’s an easy repair. Makes the job so much easier. I’ll send a photo later.

Are you doing tanks?

I replaced the tanks and hoses on my 05 marlin. Fairly easy. Pull the deck hatches to get better access of the hoses. The hoses are in rigging tubes so it’s fairly easy to pull the old ones out and put the new ones in. I vaguely remember pulling the little drawer out in the side step to help guide the hose in position. Now the hardest part for me was getting the old hoses off the fill ports. I ended up cutting the hoses and removing the fill ports. I replaced both ports since I had them out.
