It really is that easy. All you need to do is run your main line from your tank on the boat to the fuel/water separator. Then, you hook your lines from the separator to the individual motors with a bulb installed on each line. The two motor lines are separate from each other and pull off of the fuel in the filter. It was much simpler than I expected and I have had no issues whatsoever with it. I think mine had two inlet plugs and two outlet plugs, so I had to plug the other inlet...but it is quite easy. Any hardware store will have the brass fittings for plugging, joining, etc. A good plumbers putty that is solvent proof is all it took on the fittings.
I also like the idea of having the water separator for that purpose only... I am not picky when it comes to the gas I use...the motors now are designed to run on ethanol, so I don't worry about gumming a system, but I do worry about the fuel's ability to attract water if left for a long period of time. If I can separate that out, it definitely is better on the engine and it gives a slight performance gain. Just make sure you dump the fuel in the separator before storage.
