Older boats have fuel line that was not designed to handle ethanol in the fuel. I'd say any boat made since early 2000's should have adequate. I remember we had ethanol blended fuel in the 4 county Milwaukee area many years before it became universal throughout the state. I had an issue with the pick up on my portable tank for my old Tuffy Rampage. As mentioned, literally disintegrated the rubber pickup hose.

I would expect a line that does not have a lot of fuel running through it(Kicker) to go before that which does(Main Motor). I'd suggest you replace all fuel line, and fuel tank gaskets.
