Location: Green Bay, WI | I doubt that the fuel line is 3" in diameter--that's about the size of the lines on the space shuttle! More likely, that's the diameter of the protective sheath around the fuel lines, used to keep all the lines bundled together. My Verado is just this way, and the fuel line seems to be included within that bundle. I agree with the concern though--in general, one would not want fuel lines running above an electrical source (i.e.; source of ignition) in any sort of vehicle. In fact in aviation, the FAA mandates that this cannot occur--any electrical line must be located above a fluid line.
I would recommend to the original poster that, if the only place to mount the batteries is at the transom, simply mount them *inside* of battery boxes. Put lids on the boxes and fasten them and voila...problem solved.
