AINTENANCE
To determine whether a fuel flow problem is in your fuel system or your engine, follow this
simple method. Connect a six-gallon (22.7 L) portable tank to the engine and operate the engine.
If the problem persists, the likely cause is with the engine itself. If the problem goes away, the
source must be in the boats’ fuel system. One component that should be inspected if a restriction
occurs is the anti-siphon valve. If fuel does not flow properly through this part, it must be cleaned
and/or replaced.
Annually conduct a detailed inspection of fuel system components, especially those hidden
from routine inspection. Replace any fittings, deteriorated hoses, clamps or connections
immediately. Fuel filter/water separators should be replaced at least annually.

OMPARTMENT
The fuel tank compartments need to be rinsed periodically especially when used in a salt-
water environment. Dirt accumulation attracts salt, creating salt crystals. Salt crystals can corrode
most metal surfaces if left untreated over a period of time. To help protect your fuel tank from rust
and corrosion, rinse the compartment with
fresh water. After rinsing, make sure all water is
drained from the compartments. Remove the access plates from fuel tank lids and inspect this area
for leaks or unsecured lines.
The access plates on your fuel tank lids keep the fuel compartments sealed. Over time, the
opening and closing of these plates causes the o-rings to wear out. Replace these o-rings as
necessary to maintain the watertight integrity of the plates.
C A U T I O N
Do not use abrasive cleaning products, pads, steel wool or steel brushes. These products will
damage the finish.
W A R N I N G
Do not remove the anti-siphon valve and replace with a regular barb. Modification or removal
of the anti-siphon valve could allow a dangerous accumulation of fuel and vapors in the hull in
the event of a fuel system leak.
