FUEL SYSTEM INFORMATION
IMPORTANT: Fuel distribution hoses in the
boat must deliver fuel at a specific flow rate.
Minimum inside diameter of fuel hoses must
be 5/16 in. (7.9 mm).
Fuel systems with built-in tanks, particularly
those that include antisiphon valves and filter/
primer units, may have restrictions not allow-
ing the engine fuel pump to deliver sufficient
fuel under all conditions. This can result in a
loss of performance. If a performance prob-
lem exists, see your Dealer.

Fuel Connector
If equipped, disconnect fuel hose connectors
from the engine’s fuel connector when the en-
gine is not in use.
1. Fuel connector
WARNING
If engine is equipped with a quick-
disconnect fuel hose, you MUST
disconnect the fuel hose from the
engine and the fuel tank to prevent
fuel leaks:
• Whenever the engine is NOT being
used
• Whenever the engine is being trail-
ered
• Whenever the engine is in storage
NOTE: A small amount of fuel may
be released when the fuel connector
is disconnected.
Store portable fuel tanks in well-ven-
tilated areas, away from heat
sources and open flames. Close the
vent screw of the fuel tank cap, if
equipped, to prevent escape of fuel
or fuel vapors which could acciden-
tally ignite. Do not allow discon-
nected fuel hoses to leak fuel.
If the outboard is run out of fuel, refill the fuel
tank and squeeze the primer bulb until firm.
Prime the electric fuel pump by first removing
the emergency stop switch clip and then pull-
ing the rope at least two times. This will cause
the fuel pump to fill the injectors. Replace the
emergency stop switch clip and follow the
normal starting procedure.
