OPERATION
This section describes the basics of fueling, starting, running, trimming, and
docking your boat. Since there is a variety of control and engine options, be
sure to consult the other owner’s manuals provided with your boat.
FUELING
Built-in tanks have the fuel filler aft in the boat. The fuel tank is equipped
with either a shut-off valve or anti-siphon valve. The shut-off valve requires
you to manually turn the fuel valve, while the anti-siphon valve operates
automatically. Because gasoline fumes are heavier than air, they will sink to
the lowest part of your boat, such as the bilge. It is important to always
evacuate fumes with the blower before attempting to start the engine.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive under
certain conditions. When refueling, always stop the engine and
never smoke or allow open flames or sparks within 50 feet of
the fueling area.
Take care not to spill gasoline. If gasoline is spilled accidentally, wipe up all
traces of it with dry rags and immediately dispose of the rags properly
onshore. When fueling:
Know your fuel tank capacity. Be sure to have enough fuel to reach
your destination. If departing for an extended cruise, know the avail-
ability of fuel along your route.
Avoid fueling at night, except under well lighted conditions.
Moor your boat securely to the dock. Know the location of fire
extinguisher in case of emergency.
Keep accurate records on fuel consumption. A fuel log tracking
fuel use over time will help determine average consumption.
Close all doors, hatches, windows, and other compartments.
Extinguish cigarettes, pipes, stoves, and all other flame pro-
ducing items.
Make sure all power is off, and do not operate any electrical switches.
Remove fuel fill cap. Insert hose nozzle and make sure nozzle is in
contact with or grounded against fill opening. This will reduce the risk
of static spark.
