The owner’s packet contains detailed engine operation and maintenance manuals. Be sure to read and understand
these manuals before operating or performing maintenance to the engine.
Fuel System
Fuel Fill and Vent:
The fuel fill is located on the starboard
aft deck. The fuel fill fitting is marked
“GAS”. The fuel tank vent is located in
the hull below and in the same general
area as the fill.
If you experience difficulty filling the
fuel tank, check to see that the fuel fill
and vent lines are free of obstructions
and kinks.
Fuel Filters:
All tanks are equipped with a fine
mesh screen filter on the fuel pickup
tube (located inside or on the outside
of the tank) to the fuel line fitting. In
addition, when supplied by the engine
manufacturer, a filter is installed on the
engine.
Replace the fuel filter periodically to
ensure they remain clean and free of
debris. Consult your selling dealer or
local marina concerning fuel additives
that help to prevent fungus or buildup
in your fuel tank.
Anti-siphon Valve:
Your boat is equipped with an anti-siphon valve, which is an integral part of the barb fitting on the fuel tank in which
the neoprene fuel line attaches. The valve is spring loaded and is opened by fuel pump vacuum. These valves will pre-
vent fuel from siphoning from the tank in the event of a fuel line rupture.

NOTICE
If an engine running problem is diagnosed as fuel starvation, check the anti-siphon valve. In the
event the valve is stuck or clogged, it should be changed or replaced while the engine is shut down.
Under NO circumstances should the anti-siphon valve be removed, except in an emergency.
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD - It is very important that the fuel system be
inspected thoroughly the first time it is filled and at each subsequent filling. For
your safety and the safety of your passengers, the fueling instructions in the
Owner’s Manual must be carefully followed.
