Fuel System
Typical Engine Fuel Filters & Primer Bulbs
Engine Fuel Filters
On most engine installations, the fuel lter for
each engine is installed in the aft systems com-
partment. The lters are accessed through the
hatch at the rear of the cockpit sole. The lters
are the water separator type and should be ser-
viced frequently to assure an adequate supply of
clean, dry fuel to the engines. It is recommended
that the lters be inspected periodically and the
elements changed as needed. There is a primer
bulb in each fuel line located near the fuel lters
that is used to prime the fuel system after service
or as required. See Fuel System Maintenance and
the engine owner’s manual for additional informa-
tion regarding fuel lters and the outboard engine
fuel system.
Notice:
Clean fuel is especially important in fuel in-
jected engines. The engine manufacturer’s
recommendations for fuel lter maintenance
must be followed exactly.
Notice:
The procedure to prime the fuel system on
outboard engines is specific to the type
and model of engines on your boat. You
should refer to engine manufacturer owner’s
manual for the priming procedure for your
engines.
DO NOT DRAIN ANY FUEL IN THE BILGE. THIS COULD LEAD
TO A FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
CHECK ALL FUEL LINE FITTINGS FOR LEAKS BEFORE AND
AFTER STARTING THE ENGINES FOLLOWING ANY FUEL
SYSTEM SERVICE.
