Put an in line fuel filter between the squeeze bulb and the motor . They are only a couple of bucks . Also for support for your floor you can cut 4 inch pvc and stand it on end between the bottom of your boat and the floor . It is very strong and light . To get a measurment for the correct length of PVC drill a small hole in your plywood where you want your supports just big enough for a small tape measure to go through and measure from the bottom of your bout to the bottom of the plywood this will give you the correct lenth for each support . You might want to cover the plywood with indoor outdoor carpet , so it won't be slippery when wet . Try not to use ethenal , it is not good for your motor . You should be able to go all day with a 3 gallon gas tank . I have an 18 foot inboard , outboard with a 5 horse trolling motor and it won't use three gallons in 8 hours of trolling , pushing a 2800 pound boat . Curt G.
