Inspect your fuel system annually for leaks. You
should check the fuel-tank area below the floor for
liquid fuel, or a strong odor of gasoline before each
outing, but at least once a year you should open each
access port to any of the fuel-system components
to inspect for leakage. If any leakage or seeping
of fuel around any fuel-system fitting is found, or
there is a strong odor of gasoline, do not turn on or
off any electrical appliances or attempt to start this
vessel; open all hatches to allow the compartment to
ventilate, and call a qualified service/repair person for
inspection and repair of the leak before using boat.

If a water heater is a part of the system, isolate the
tank by disconnecting the in and out hoses and
