Default Eliminate the quick disconnect on fuel line?

It depends

The fitting where the fuel hose connects to my merc outboard has gone
bad again. It clamped solidly in there with the existing
retainer.
What is the downside?


Eliminating any quick disconect feature between the tank and the motor
means; You have just changed a Portable tank to a Permanently Installed
Fuel Tank. Which can alter your required equipment. Also if you want to
get technical, since this is a modification to the original design. You
may need to make this modification in compliance with 2006 regulations,
not the year in which the boat was built.
