To fill the fuel tank at a marina, follow this procedure:
1. Make sure all switches are in the “OFF” position.
2. Make sure the boat is securely moored.
3. Make sure all passengers leave the boat.
4. Estimate how much fuel is needed and avoid filling the tank to the point where fuel
comes out of the fuel vent.
Note: When the fuel tank is full, fuel will come out through the fuel vent. The fuel vent is
located on the port side of the boat.
