Last year I noticed a gas smell after I'd been running. Never could trace it down and never smelled it after I trailered boat. Went Thursday morning and while priming the fuel line I noticed a loose clamp at bulb. Figured it was no big deal and fished. Today I decided to change clamp out. Got it swapped no problem but as soon as I primed line, gas started leaking out the cowl. Pulled the cowl off and found another leak in there. It never came out of there before. Don't know if changing clamp put enough pressure on system to make it start leaking worse or what. It's a thousand wanders it hadn't caught fire or worse. Finally found out what part is called. Fuel water separator sensor. After finding out it seems to be common thing. Gets your nerves going seeing gas running down wires under the cowl. Got part ordered to fix.
