Fuel System

• It is very important that the fuel system be inspected thoroughly the first time it is filled and
at each subsequent filling.
• The fueling instructions in the Sport Boat Owner's Manual and the fuel recommendations in
the engine operation manual MUST be followed.
Avoid the storage or handling of gear near the fuel lines, fittings and tank.
Carefully read the fuel section of both the Sport Boat Owner's Manual and the engine operation
manual, paying special attention to the subject of fuel recommendations.
Fuel Fill & Vent
• The fuel fill deck
fitting is marked
GAS.
• If you have prob-
lems filling the
fuel tank, see if
the fuel fill hose
or fuel tank vent
hose is kinked or
collapsed.
• If there are no
visible signs of a
problem, contact
your local dealer.

Fuel Filters

• The fuel pickup
tube, located
inside the fuel
tank, is equipped
with a fine mesh screen filter.
• Also, when supplied by the engine manufacturer, a fuel filter is installed on the engine.
• Periodically replace the fuel filters to make sure they remain clean and free of debris.
• Talk to your selling dealer or local marina about fuel additives that help prevent fungus or other buildup in your
fuel tank.
