This chapter discusses major systems or components on your boat. Information
about boat controls is in Chapter 7. Equipment discussed in this chapter is standard
or optional on some models and not available on others. See your dealer for more
information.
ENGINES
Your boat may be available with a range of engine options. In your Owner’s Packet
is an owner’s manual for the engine. Refer to that manual for information about
engine care and maintenance.
Keep your engine well tuned to decrease exhaust hydrocarbon emissions that pol-
lute the air and water.
Your dealer employs factory trained technicians certified to service the engine. If
you choose to do so, you can handle basic servicing such as checking engine oil.
But with today’s ever-advancing engine technology, these technicians have the tools
and the expertise required for efficient and safe engine service.
FUEL SYSTEM
The fuel system is designed to prevent fire and explosion and to provide a continu-
ous flow of clean fuel to the engine. It meets or exceeds the Federal requirements of
the U.S. Coast Guard at the time of manufacture. The system is also certified by the
National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA). Every fuel tank must pass
rigid tests and inspections by the tank manufacturer.
Before you take delivery, check that your dealer has completed a full inspection of
the entire fuel system. You should also inspect the entire system at least once a year.
During the boating season, keep the fuel tank filled to prevent moisture condensa-
tion inside the tank. Check the tank exterior periodically and repair any scratches or
nicks to prevent rust.
