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, and additional filter is installed
on the engine. Fuel filters should be replaced 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 tanks.
Bilge Blower
The bilge blower removes fumes
from the engine compartment and
draws fresh air into the compartment
through the deck vents. To ensure
fresh air circulation, operate the bilge
blower for at least four minutes
before starting the engine, during
starting, and while operating the boat
below cruising speed.
