Chapter 3: Propulsion & Related Systems

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/vent fitting is marked "Gas".
• If you have problems 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.
• In addition, 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.
