Owners Manual

Many people would love to own and use a boat, 
but are kept away from their dreams by fears they 
would not be able to launch, operate and retrieve 
a boat. This uncertainty is relieved with practice 
and experience and you will soon gain confidence.

The following sections are designed to give you 
the skills to become a more confident and aware 
boat operator on protected waters.

FUELLING PROCEDURES

 

Internal Built-In Fuel Tank

If fuelling the boat whilst in the water, be sure it is 
securely moored to the dock.

Turn off all electrical equipment including the 
engine, appliances, lights etc.

Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars or other items that 
may produce a spark or flame.

Through-deck fittings are provided for fuel tank 
filling. Remove the cap and insert the fuel supply 
nozzle, allowing the nozzle to maintain contact 
with the fitting; this will prevent possible static 
sparking.

If, when filling the tank, you can’t put fuel in at a 
reasonable rate, check the fuel vent line to see that 
it’s not kinked or blocked. If the problem persists 
consult your dealer.

When you have finished fuelling, replace the 

fill cap and wash off any fuel spillage.

Fuel up on your way to the water, not on your way 
home or before you store your boat.

Allow for thermal expansion of the fuel on very hot 
days. Do not over fill the fuel tank.

Our boats have many different fuel tanks to suit our 
broad range. Some tanks are deeper than others. 
Depending on the fuel tank depth and the length 
of the fuel sender, the gauge may not give a true 
indication of the amount of fuel remaining in the 
tank when the gauge reads ‘empty’.

The first time the tank is filled, have someone fill 
the tank slowly while watching the fuel gauge. As 
soon as the gauge moves (and remains) at a point 
above “empty” stop filling the tank and note the 
amount of fuel registered at the bowser. 

This is an indication of the fuel reserve in the tank. 
Never assume there is enough reserve in the tank 
to get home as the fuel gauge may read differently 
while at sea due to attitude, lean or list of the boat.

Portable Fuel Tank

Remove the tank from the boat for filling.

If your outboard requires a petrol/oil mix, follow 
the engine manual instructions for the proper 
lubrication oil and petrol ratio mix.

Before placing the tank back in the boat, wash off 
any spilled fuel.

Some portable tanks have vent screws which must 
be open during engine operation.

ENGINE USE

The engine operating and maintenance manual 
provided with your boat describes pre-start and 
starting procedures. Modern engines are designed 
to be started in a particular way. Read the starting 
procedure for your engine carefully prior to 
attempting operation.

Special Note: The following advantages and 
disadvantages of a Lanyard Stop Switch should 
be considered before electing to use such a 
switch.

Spilt fuel may damage the paint work, the 

plastic side pocket material and the carpet 

on your vessel.  If a fuel spill occurs insure it 

is cleaned up immediately.

ATTENTION

!

Do not use fuels that incorporate any form 

of alcohol or alcohol derivatives or ethanol. 

Alcohol and ethanol’s may destroy marine 

fuel system hoses and components, which 

could lead to hazardous leaks, fire or 

explosion.
