FUEL AND LUBRICATION
CAUTION: Scrupulously follow the in-
structions of this section. Failure to do
so may reduce the engine’s life and/or
performance.
Fueling Procedure
Turn off engine.
Do not allow anyone to remain on the
sport boat.
Tie sport boat securely to the fueling pier.
Have a fire extinguisher close at hand.
Do not insert the spout too far into filler
neck.
Pour fuel slowly so that air can escape
from the tank and prevent fuel flow-
back. Be careful not to spill fuel.
Stop filling when the fuel reaches the
bottom of filler neck. Do not fill into the
filler tube to prevent fuel spillage. Do
not overfill. Fully tighten fuel tank cap.
Recommended Fuel
Use unleaded regular gasoline with 87
octane (Ron + Mon)/2 specification.
Outside North America use 90 RON.
CAUTION: Never experiment with
other fuels or fuel ratios. Never use
fuel containing more than 10% alco-
hol, (ethanol or methanol). The use
of non-recommended fuel can result
in sport boat performance deterio-
ration and damage to critical parts in
the fuel system and engine compo-
nents.
Engine Oil
Recommended Oil
This sport boat features a 4-stroke en-
gine that requires 4-stroke motor oil for
internal engine lubrication. Ensure to
respect the following requirements.
Use 4-stroke engine oil that meets or
exceeds the requirements for API ser-
vice classification SG, SH or SJ. Al-
ways check the API service label on
the oil container to be sure it includes
those letters. Only use high-quality
high-detergent oil.
CAUTION: Never use any two-stroke
engine oil.
Oil Viscosity
SAE 10W40 is recommended for all sea-
sons.

fueling. Fuel is flammable and ex-
plosive under certain conditions.
Always work in a well ventilated
area. Do not smoke or allow open
flames or sparks in the vicinity.
Fuel tank may be pressurized, turn
cap slowly when opening.
Never
use an open flame to check fuel
level. When fueling, keep boat lev-
el. Do not overfill or top off the fuel
tank and leave boat in the sun. As

pands and might overflow. Al-
ways remove any fuel spillage
from the boat. Periodically verify
