when you changed the fuel filters did you by chance empty them into a clear clean glass to see how much trash was in them? If they were relatively clean then it is more then likely what the others have said, a hole in the pickup tube. Also if you filled up with e10 gas then it could be cleaning all ...

I am thinking about cutting down some old/broken teak into thin strips to redo mine, but it looks like the way you did it would be a lot easier.

I've got a tandem axle, 9,000lb rated traitor and my f25 just about max's out it, I agree with fooferb, best bet is to get a trip axle with brakes.

So far over the last two days I have removed about 300 ft of 12v wire most of which wasn't attached at either end, and about 150 ft of 110v in the same condition.

I agree with rooferdave, I think ceder would be my last choice of wood to use. I think seaboard would be a better choice, or some ply wrapped in glass.
