DANGER! Gasoline is extremely flammable
and highly explosive. ALWAYS turn off the en-
gine before refueling. Do not smoke or allow
open flames or sparks near the boat when
adding fuel. When filling the gas tank, ground
the tank to the source of gasoline by holding
the hose nozzle firmly against the side of the
deck filler plate, or ground it in some other
manner. This action prevents static electricity
buildup that could cause sparks and ignite
fuel vapors.

Gasoline Recommendations

USE ONLY UNLEADED FUEL. Use lead-free gaso-
line with the following minimum or higher octane spec-
ification:
Inside the U.S.: (R+M)/2 (AKI) – 87
Outside the U.S.: (RON) – 90
If fuels with 89 AKI pump posted (93 RON) octane
number or higher are used an increase in power can
be expected with EFI models.
Mid-grade and premium fuels contain injector clean-
ers and other additives that protect the fuel system
and provide optimum performance.
Gasoline will degrade over time. Always buy your
gasoline from a reputable dealer.
NOTICE! Engine damage resulting from the use of a
lower octane gasoline than 87 AKI (90
RON) is considered misuse of the engine.
Any resulting engine damage will not be
covered by the warranty.
