MAINTENANCE
56
Before servicing any part of the fuel system, stop engine and disconnect the battery. Drain the fuel system
completely. Use an approved container to collect and store fuel. Wipe up any spillage immediately. Material used
to contain spillage must be disposed of in an approved receptacle. Any fuel system service must be performed in
a well ventilated area. Inspect any completed service work for sign of fuel leakage.
FUEL LINE INSPECTION
Visually inspect the fuel line and primer bulb for cracks, swelling, leaks, hardness, or other signs of deterioration
or damage. If any of these conditions are found, the fuel line or primer bulb must be replaced.
FUEL LINE FILTER
Inspect the fuel line filter. If the filter appears to be contaminated, remove and replace.

IMPORTANT: Visually inspect for fuel leakage from the filter connections by squeezing the primer bulb until firm,
forcing fuel into the filter.
Steering Link Rod Fasteners
IMPORTANT: The steering link rod that connects the steering cable to the engine must be fastened using the
steering link rod fastening hardware supplied with engine. Never replace the locknuts (11‑16147‑‑3) with common
nuts (non‑locking) as they will work loose and vibrate off, freeing the link rod to disengage.
!
WARNING
Disengagement of a steering link rod can result in the boat taking a full, sudden, sharp turn. This potentially
violent action can cause occupants to be thrown overboard exposing them to serious injury or death.
