one clamp only and not very tight at all. Now the hole where the old filler was is too big for the new one. Going to try and find a small piece of starboard to raise it up and cover hole. I will then install new filler thru that piece over the hole. ALso going to try and siphon out the water tomorrow thru the sending unit.

I knew it had to be something simple.  Glad you found the problem!

So far so good - no water in tank anymore. Interesting thing I found when checking the pickup for any obstructions. The 90 degree fitting had a small chunk of aluminum blocking the pickup tube. The shutoff block had no real cel supply coming thru it??  Cleared that with a pick and reinstalled the fittings. The boat finally ran great for miles at wot until the last time I tried to get up on plane. It would only reach 4000rpms. Thinking I've got an air leak somewhere or possible vst or injector issue now. Getting close to the finish line though!
