UELING
Please study the following precautions carefully. Consult your dealer if you have any
questions. Prior to your initial fill-up, check your engine manual to confirm the type of fuel and
octane rating specified by the manufacturer. Tanks should be filled when the boat is not in use to
reduce the accumulation of moisture and condensation. Add stabilizer to fuel that won’t be used
in 60-90 days.
Fuel containing up to a 10% ethanol blend (E10) is acceptable for use in your boat. Do
not
use
alcohol blended fuel that has greater than 10% ethanol such as E20 or E85. These concentrations
may be harmful to fuel system components and outboard engines.
Other considerations related to Ethanol fuel blends:
•Avoid mixing E10 with fuels that contain MTBE, an additive to gasoline in some fuel
blends that oxygenates the fuel to reduce emissions.
• Use a 10 micron fuel filter to capture particulate contaminants that may be loosened from
the fuel system due to the solvent nature of alcohol blended fuels.
• Carry spare fuel filters with a 10 micron rating on your boat for emergency replacement if
required.
• Before Fueling
•Shut down all engines.
•Turn battery select switch(es) to “Off” to insure that all fans, lights, etc. are off.
•Close all ports, hatches, windows and engine compartments to prevent fumes from
accumulating in closed areas.
•Extinguish cigarettes and all other lighted materials.
•Have a fire extinguisher near.
• During Fueling
•Observe all safety regulations for the safe handling of fuel.
•Keep the fuel supply nozzle in contact with the fuel tank opening to prevent any static
sparks.
• After Fueling
•Secure the fuel cap, and check fuel lines and connections for leakage. Wash and clean up
any spilled fuel. Dispose of clean up rags or sponges on shore. Do not store these clean up
rags in the boat.
•After fueling ventilate all ports, windows, hatches and other closed areas. Conduct a “sniff
test” to make certain all fumes are vacant before using the battery select switch(es).

Safety during fueling requires CAUTION and COMMON SENSE.
