Hull & Deck Drain System
Most ABJET®s have a self-bailing deck system which allows
water to flow from the deck to the transom by the action of
gravity; each drain line has a non-return valve to restrict water
to enter the deck when floatation line surpasses the deck level.
Note: If you leave the ABJET® on davits or store it out of
the water, remove the hull drain plug on the transom so
water can drain.
CAUTION
Before launching the boat, make sure that plugs are
secured into the hull drains.
Fueling and Fuel System
All ABJET® boats have a fuel tank installed underneath the
deck. The ABJET® has been designed to allow inspection for
all fuel system components. The system has an electrical
pump located inside the fuel tank, which must not be
removed unless strictly necessary and only by an AB
authorized service center.
Fuel lines, vent hoses and drain hoses should be checked
frequently for leaks. If leaking occurs, inspect the fuel
system connections. If they are too tight or too loose they
may leak. If upon tightening or loosening the connection the
leak persists, replace the hose. If the hose presents surface
cracking or if it is dry or mushy, replace immediately.
NOTICE
•Take care not to spill gasoline. If gasoline is spilled, use dry rags or
sponges to soak up the fuel and dispose of them properly onshore.
Discharging fuel or oily waste in navigable waters is prohibited. Help
protect our waters.

refueling, always turn off the engine. Never smoke or allow open
flames or sparks within 15 meters (50 feet) of the fueling area.
