If you have trouble siphoning (don't know how your tank is set up) here's
something that worked for me.
I have a 20' Scout CC with a 100 gallon tank buried somewhere in the hull.
I was going to tow it to Florida and wanted to empty the full tank to
decrease weight. I found I could not siphon it out because I couldn't get
a tube down into the gas through the fill opening. So ... I went to
AutoZone and bought a cheap electric fuel pump for a car. (I think it was
24 bucks). Got some clear, soft tubing and attached sections to the
suction side and to the outlet. I disconnected the fuel line where it
exited the fuel filter/water separator and connected the hose with the
pump to the filter outlet. Made a long set of leads with clips on them
and connected to a remote battery. Worked like a champ. I filled up my
car, our neighbor's car and a couple of friend's cars.

I should add .... the engine on the Scout is a Yamaha 4 stroke .... no oil
in the gas ... therefore, I could fill up the car tanks.
