Operation
This section describes the basics of fueling, starting, running, stopping,
steering, trimming and docking your boat. Since there is a variety of
control and engine options, be sure to consult the other owner’s manuals
provided with your boat.
FUELING
Portable tanks must be
removed from the boat
when fueling. Consult the
engine operator’s manual
for proper procedures. Built-
in tanks have the fuel filler
aft in the boat. Models with
oil injection also have fillers
for the oil reservoir.
The fuel tank is equipped with either a shut-off valve or anti-siphon valve.
The shut-off valve requires you to manually turn the fuel valve, while the
anti-siphon valve operates automatically. Because gasoline fumes are
heavier than air, they will sink to the lowest part of your boat, such as the
bilge. It is important to always evacuate fumes with the blower (if
equipped) before attempting to start engine.
 CAUTION
To prevent unwarranted engine damage, consult your engine
operator’s manual for manufacturer recommended fuel and oil
specifications.
