FUEL TANK :
Your boat can ba pre-equipped with a fuel tank located in the front box or under the deck. If
your boat does not come with an integrated fuel tank, the portable fuel tank provided with the
outboard motor must be used.
All the fuel lines and junction of the fuel tank must be inspected every year in order to avoid
any risk of leak. The connectors may also comme off and must therefore be verified. If the fuel
lines present some cracks of are defective, they must be replaced. Always use fuel lines that are
conform to the norm ISO 7840
Caution
Do not drill the deck over the fuel tank. This may create a fuel leak that may result to fire,
serious injury or death.
Caution
The portable fuel tank must be filled outside the boat. Always fill the fuel tanks in a venti-
lated place with the engine turned off. Do not Smoke during filling the fuel tanks.
Caution
Do not fill the fuel tank at full capacity.Ne pas remplir réservoir à pleine capacité. You
must foresee the expansion of the fuel due to outside temperature change.
TRANSPORTING :
For optimum handling, the trailer must be properly loaded and balanced.
Keep the center of gravity low for best handling.
Approximately 60 percent of the boat’s weight should be positioned on the front half of the
trailer and 40 percent in the rear.
The boat should also be balanced from side to side. If the vessel has side mounted fuel or water
tanks and only one side is filled, then this will lend the rig to maneuver poorly. Proper balancing
will also prolong the life of your trailer tires.
The boat should also be firmly secured with at least two ratchet type straps, one attached fronm
the trailer to the stem eyes and one strap from the trailer to the bow eye to keep the boat from
shifting forward. The bow eye should also be attached to the trailer’s winch which is mounted
