EMPTY TANK:
A fuel tank with levels less than 1/4 full can cause
problems by stalling an engine due to fuel starvation
or by allowing sediment and dirt to enter the fuel
supply lines. Keeping the tank filled will reduce the
chance of this occurance; since the residue will most
likely settle to the bottom of the tank. Monitor the
fuel level often to prevent this from happening.
HOSES AND FITTINGS:
Hoses and fittings should be inspected at least every
100 hours. Check the hoses for cracks, abrasions and
deterioration and the strong smell of fuel prior to
starting the engine(s). If the hoses or fittings are dam-
aged or worn, replace them with only marine grade
replacement parts. Your authorized Boston Whaler®
dealer will have all the parts information you will
need.
TANK CLEANING:
Excessive water and sediment may force you to con-
sider having the tank professionally cleaned. If you
are frequently changing fuel filter/water separators
and notice a loss in power, consult a professional
tank cleaning contractor regarding this procedure and
proper disposal of residue and water.
PRIMER BULB:
There is a primer bulb that can be accessed under
the portside of the motorwell hatch. There are also
instructions regarding proper use of the primer bulb.
The primer bulb is used to draw fuel from the tank
to the engine, usually after the fuel has been drained
from the entire system.
Remote Oil System
The 240 Outrage is equipped with a remote oil sys-
tem. This system consists of a two 3- Gal.(11.3L)
reservoir tanks and hoses which contain and meter
lubricating oil to the engine(s). The tanks have an
external fill located on the aft side of the cockpit tran-
som wall. Access to the tanks is through the
motorwell access hatch. When recapping the fill
make sure that it is secure to prevent spills and to
prevent the intrusion of water into the system. Your
remote oil tank is secured by a nylon strap and quick
release clip. Little maintenance is required for the
remote oil system, aside from checking the hoses for
abrasions and cracks and hose clamps for proper
tightness. The tank should not be exposed to ultra-
violet light, rain or seawater for extended periods of
time. The Four-Stroke engine option deletes the re-
mote oil system.

Access to the vent fittings is through twist-out plate
located inside the cockpit opposite the fuel tank vent.
Check the vent assembly regularily as part of a main-
tenance schedule for continued safe operation of your
boats fuel system. The Vent assembly consists of a
backshell, starwasher,nut and hose clamp. Remove
the hose clamp, nut, starwasher and backshell and
push the fuel vent fitting out. The fuel vent has four
screens that are held in by a ring. Use a small pick to
dislodge the ring to remove the screens and clean as
required.
