I have a 9.9 Suzuki and have it plumbed it into the main fuel tank at the water separator filter. Your boat should have a water separator filter on the engine as I believe they are standard equipment on most Mercrusier Inboards and I/Os. There are two outlet ports on the filter head where the filter screws onto the filter assembly and only one is being used by the main engine. You can remove the brass plug on the unused outlet and plumb it to supply the kicker motor. It is a very simple straight forward connection to make and you should be able to do it yourself. You will still need the priming bulb in the fuel line some where to get it to start pulling fuel from the main tank as it has to pull the fuel uphill so to speak. Depending on what year you have it may be a Suzuki as Suzuki made the small 4 strokes for Evinrude for several years. The newer Evinrude Kickers are now made by Tohatsu. In any event you should be fine plumbing your kicker into the main fuel tank.
