IMPORTANT HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
ABOUT YOUR NEW BOAT
FUEL SYSTEM
The fuel system consists of a fuel tank equipped with an electric
sending unit. The fuel level is displayed on the console mounted gauge
when the ignition switch is “on”. On models with two tanks, a console
mounted switch marked with a fuel pump symbol or just “fuel”, is used to
switch the gauge from one tank to the other. Push the fuel pump symbol
switch to display the level in tank 1 (starboard) or tank 2 (port). Or, on
some models, push the switch to the left to display the port tank fuel level
and push to the right to display the starboard tank fuel level. The center
position is “off”. A fuel hose connects the fuel tank to the engine. On
models with more than one tank, a switch valve is installed to switch from
tank to tank. This valve, located at the driver seat, on the panel supporting
the driver and passenger seat or near the splashwell, depending on the
model, is clearly marked and easily operated. Some models have a
manual fuel shutoff valve located in the pick up tube at the fuel tank.
