The "click-to-close" gas cap allows for ease of use.
To open, push the catch/release mechanism shown
in Figure I7 inward. To close, simply shut the cap and
press the cap until it "clicks" shut. Hearing the click en-
sures that the gas cap is completely closed. Be sure
to utilize the proper type and grade of fuel as recom-
mended by the engine manufacturer. See Section I-2
for addi tional infor ma tion.
NOTICE
On domestic models, when the fuel fill/vent cap
is closed the vent is sealed. Gas vapors are no
longer vented through the fuel/fill vent.
Catch/Release
Mechanism - Push in to open.
Figure I7: Fuel Deck Fill
(Representative View - Models May Vary)
Domestic Models Only
Avoid overboard spills. Be alert. The fuel nozzle
should automatically shut off when using an
automatic shut off nozzle. Be ready in the event
it does not or if you are using a different type of
nozzle for dispensing fuel. DO NOT TOP OFF.
Export Models Only
Avoid overboard spills. When tank is almost full
the sound from the fuel fill/vent will change. The
pitch will become higher indicating the tank is
close to being full. Stop pumping fuel into tank.
DO NOT TOP OFF.
Fuel Systems - Section I
NOTICE
All connections, including the fuel deck fill,
should be checked annually for leaks.
DO NOT confuse GAS deck fill plate with
WA TER or WASTE deck plates. Deck fill plates
are labeled according to the in tend ed use.
Spilled fuel is a fire haz ard. DO NOT ove rfill
or ove rflow the tank, or al low fuel spills into
the hull or bilge. If spill age oc curs, clean up
im me di ately and dis pose of soiled rags/towels
in a pro per con tain er.
NOTICE
When fueling at a marina, DO NOT over fill.
Fuel may spill into the water.
After fueling, close the fill cap, and wash the areas
around the fuel fill plate. Residual fuel left on the deck
and hull sides can be dangerous and will yellow the
fiber g lass. It can also damage the tape stripes and lo-
gos. Care should be taken, when cleaning, to prevent
contaminating the fuel deck fill/vent. Cleaning with
only mild soapy water is recommended.
The gasket seal on the fuel fill cap assists in seal i ng
when closed. A missing or damaged gasket can allow
water on the surrounding sur faces to run into the tank.
Periodically inspect the gasket (if applicable) and/or
the fuel deck cap for damage.
E. Fuel Vent (P-trap) - Domestic
On the V series models, separate thru-hull P-trap fuel
vent(s) is installed. See Figures I6 & I8. During normal
boating operations and/or temperature increases, air
from the fuel tank is displaced and es capes through
the vent overboard. Before being released into the
environment the gas vapor is scrubbed by a carbon
canister thus greatly reducing emissions.
