The fuel cap is located on the rear deck, 2-4 feet from the stern.
To open, push the black tab located on the bottom side of
thegas cap. When the black tab is pushed, the gas cap will hinge
upward. To close, push the gas cap down. When the gas cap is
completely closed a “click” sound should be heard. The audible
“click” ensures that the gas cap is closed and sealed.
The new fueling system prevents spillage from occurring. Air is
allowed to escape from the front and rear of the gas tank. Both
vents are on a central fuel line, which runs to a central holding
container for the vapor. The vapor is released over time. This
type of venting system allows for the tank to be filled without
building any back pressure. Without back pressure, spillage
should be completely eliminated from the fueling process.
This venting system doesn’t allow water to enter the fuel system.
In the unlikely event that water runs up against the fuel vent,
the fuel vent has a one-way valve. The one way valve allows
for air to release, but denies water from entering. The gas cap
itself is sealed with a rubber seal. When the gas cap is “clicked”
closed the seal prevents any water from entering the system.
Gasoline vapors are highly explosive!

”THIS BOAT COMPLIES WITH U.S. COAST GUARD SAFETY STANDARDS
IN EFFECT ON THE DATE OF CERTIFICATION WITH THE EXCEPTION OF CERTAIN
FUEL SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH ITS FUEL INJECTED ENGINE
AS AUTHORIZED BY U.S. COAST GUARD GRANT OF EXEMPTION (CGB 09-003).
MAINTENANCE OF THE FUEL SYSTEM IN THIS BOAT SHOULD BE PERFORMED
ONLY BY EXPERIENCED TECHNICIANS USING IDENTICAL FUEL SYSTEM
COMPONENTS.”
“SERVICE OF THE ENGINE INSTALLED IN THIS BOAT REQUIRES SPECIAL
TOOLS, TRAINING AND GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS WHICH ARE ONLY
AVAILABLE FROM SKIER’S CHOICE, INC. THE FUEL SYSTEM SHOULD BE SERVICED
ONLY BY A SKIER’S CHOICE TRAINED CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN. DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO SERVICE THE SYSTEM YOURSELF.”
Your boat contains a fuel system that is designed using current
fuel delivery technology. The common terminology for this
type of system is: Pump in Tank.
The system consists of a dual high pressure pump canister that
is mounted inside the fuel tank. On the top of the canister there
is a fuel pressure regulator. The engine’s fuel lines are connected
to the in tank fuel pump via a specially designed shielded,
flexible high pressure fuel hose. This hose is pressurized. This
system requires special tools and knowledge to service and
maintain and as such is not owner serviceable.
The fuel filter for the boat’s fuel delivery system is in the fuel
tank. This style filter system is considered a lifetime filter under
normal circumstances.
The pump in tank fuel delivery system uses the fuel to lubricate
and cool the fuel pumps. Running the pumps with very low
fuel levels or running the pumps without fuel in the tank can
induce air into the pumps which may shorten the fuel pump’s
longevity. This type of fuel pump damage is not warrantable.
The following conditions may be considered normal
operation of the fuel gauge and fuel system:
• Gas station pumps may shut off before the fuel gauge
indicates FULL.
• The amount of fuel required for fill-up may not exactly
correspond to the gauge.
• The gauge needle may not move away from FULL until some
time after fill-up.
• The gauge needle may move during turns, stops, and
acceleration.
NOTE: Become familiar with engine hourly fuel consumption
at various speeds and know when to check the fuel gauge.
