Owner’s Manual Supplement
P r o p u l s i o n
Engine
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.
F u e l S y s t e m
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 man-
ufacturer, a 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 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 prevent fuel
from siphoning from the tank in the event of a fuel line rupture.

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.
WARNI NG
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.
