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 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 sup-
plied by the engine
manufacturer, a fuel fil-
ter 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.
