O.K. I put a 15Hp Honda on my Trophy Pro this winter.
Getting power to the Honda looks like a snap.
Getting fuel to it looks to be a bit more trouble.
I have great access in the splashwell to the 2 fuels line that feed the main engines.
The tank I can get to but see no extra ports for a pickup.
Can I tee off one of the main fuels lines and run a line to the kicker?
I can get to the seperaters, but there are no extra plugs to put a fitting on them so I would be back to a tee in the fuel line.
Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks Kelly.

I would purchase a new filter holder with 2 outlet ports and replace the one closest to your kicker.

I have seen people use T fitting in their fuel line, but they will restrict fuel flow to some extent.

I run my kicker fuel line from my filter/water separator. I can run both my kicker and main outboard at the same time. It works well. Just get a new separator holder like he said, with two outgoing ports. It is a $20 fix. The T in your line will screw with your fuel managment sensor, if you have one.

What if the T is after the fuel management sensor? Would it mess with it then? I just had a kicker installed. My Voyager has the yamaha fuel management sensor AFTER the Fuel/Water separator Filter....the T was installed now AFTER the Fuel Management sensor......

Is this a problem?
