Tank Selection
There are a pair of 3-way gasoline valves that con-
trol the flow of fuel to the engines. The fuel system
is designed to have the port engine supplied by the
port fuel tank and the starboard engine by the star-
board tank. The valves can be used so both engines
can be supplied by either tank. (If both engines will
be run from one fuel tank, the boat will eventually
list to the opposite side of the tank being used). The
valves have PORT, STARBOARD, OFF clearly
marked on the perimeter of each valve. Turn the valve
handles to the desired position for the appropriate
tank. Be sure to always check the level of each fuel
tank and position of fuel valves to prevent the boat
from becoming unbalanced while underway. The tank
selector gasoline valves are located on the aft wall
of the stern foldaway seat.

Primer Bulb (Optional)
If equipped, a pair of primer bulbs can be accessed
under the port and starboard sides of the motorwell
hatch. The primer bulbs are used to draw fuel from
the tank to the engine, usually after the fuel has been
drained from the entire system. There are also in-
structions regarding proper use of the primer bulb in
the engine manufacturers handbook.

Fuel Fill
The fuel tank(s) have a fuel tank vents located
amidship, 7-9” inches below the rub rail directly be-
low the fuel fill cap. The fuel tank vent serves as a
pressure/vacuum release, safety overflow and flame
arrestor. Access to the vent fittings is through twist-
out plate located inside the cockpit opposite the fuel
tank vent. Check the vent assembly regularily as part
of a maintenance schedule for continued safe opera-
tion of your boats fuel system. The Vent assembly
consists of a backshell, starwasher,nut and hose
clamp. Remove the hose clamp, nut, starwasher and
backshell and push the fuel vent fitting out. The fuel
vent has four screens that are held in by a ring. Use a
small pick to dislodge the ring to remove the screens
and clean as required.
