Fuel Filter
The fuel filter is located in the aft mechanical
space on the starboard side. The filter is the
water separator type. Check the filter for
water frequently to ensure an adequate sup-
ply of clean, dry fuel to the engine. The filter
element should be changed once a season.
Turn off all electrical switches before servic-
ing the fuel system and DO NOT drain any
fuel into the bilge. Check all fuel lines and fit-
tings for leaks before and after starting the
engines and after any fuel system service.
Prime fuel system and check all fittings for
leaks before starting the engines.
3.3 Fueling Instructions
Try not to spill fuel. If fuel is spilled, wipe up
all traces with dry rags and immediately dis-
pose of the rags properly onshore. DO NOT
allow fuel to stay on the finish of the boat,
discolor and damage to trim can occur.
Avoid fueling at night, except under well-
lighted conditions. Also, monitor fuel level
gauge to avoid overfilling.

DANGER
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD
Gasoline vapors are highly explosive
when exposed to open flame or spark,
resulting in death or serious injury.
• Stop engines before fueling.
• DO NOT smoke or allow open
flames or sparks nearby, within 50
ft (15 m) of the fueling area.
• Maintain contact between fuel noz-
zle and fuel tank fill to prevent
electrostatic spark. DO NOT use a
plastic funnel.
• Fill in an open area.
BURN HAZARD
Fuel floating on water which is ignited
can cause death or serious injury.
Fuel will float on top of water and can
burn. If the boat is abandoned, swim
upwind, far enough to avoid fuel that
can spread over the surface of the
water.
NOTICE
Use only the fuel recommended by the
engine manufacturer. Use of old, con-
taminated fuel can cause the engine to
malfunction or severe damage. Do not
use fuel that contains more than 10%
ethanol, harsh additives or methanol;
damage to the engines and fuel sys-
tem will result. Fuel system damage,
related to use of alcohol-blended
fuels, is not covered by the Pursuit
Limited Warranty. Refer to the engine
owner's manual for specific fuel
requirements for your engines.
