I run a 9.9 kicker on a Pwr Tran bracket on my pontoon and I want to run both outboards off of one tank. I want to come out of a single tank thru a fuel filter and than a separate line (with separate bulb) to each motor. Who makes a filter with two outputs and,, will this work without one motor sucking fuel from the other??? Running two tanks now but need the room and want to shed a bit of weight in the stern. thanks

The system you are describing is exactly how my boat is set up. With dual outboards, you won't have a problem. I'll see if I can find a link for a dual port fuel/water separator for you.

Here is a link to several that will work. Racor is the cadillac of filters but are very pricey.

They come with multiple ports. But at close to $50 a recplacement filter, I go with the Chevy.

The way mine is set up, there is one supply from the main tank and 2 out going lines, one to each motor.

Looking at the pictures, it appears that you can use any of the similiar filters in the link I perviously provided. You'll note that the one line coming in and 2 going out and one plugged.
