Just a thought, if you don't fill the bowl you will know for sure if your bulb is working by seeing the bowl fill up.
Yes I know it takes longer and is more work. :)

I wonder if you have two pickup hoses and a selector valve that may have been turned off.

"Also there seems to be a series of hose inputs all over and a little complex for me."
Here is what I did for steps, I can put them on either side.
Works good at a dock but not good for me when coming up a stepladder when on the trailer.

Sorry for the small size, it took me 15 minutes just to get the picture here. LOL
For what it's worth, My boat had some grey fuel line on the kicker engine when I bought it this spring.
I went to move the kicker fuel tank and that grey line snapped in two.
Yes it was cold outside but the black hose on the big engine had no problem.

Is there any chance you have somebody near your home that could ship your punches to you ?

PS: I looked up a roll punch - that looks like it would work really well, and better than a dowel because of having a tapered end. Just for the record, this is now the approximately 307th...
I will not put a complete loop around the cleat first.
I use to do that till all the water in the west end of lake Erie got blown to the East end and my boat was hanging by a stern line and had to be cut to release the boat.

A heat gun or a hair dryer and a plastic or nylon puddy knife will get the old decal off. ( keep the heat moving )
I went to a sign shop and had my boat name and the C-Dory decal made.
I just copied some pictures from different albums on here. and they made the C-Dory decal up.
