the anti syphon valves on my boat are located on the fuel tanks they look like ordinary fittings so you may not be able to immediately identify seems like a long shot at this point but I still would encourage you to check it out not that it would be the problem but I am assuming your crossover is of...

Welcome I have a 1989 mid cabin I know the previous owners and knew that it had been neglected for many years I would check the anti-syphon valves Odd that they would both be clogged to the same degree at the same time but worth looking at fuel crossover setting? I have had many problems but only on...

thanks for the kind words
definitely going to look for that hat

A teak trim upgrade

I don't know the answer
