SYSTEM OPERATIONS-46
Make a fi nal inspection of the engine
and/or generator space and smell for
fumes. If they are present, open all doors
and ports and evacuate the boat. Notify
the Dockmaster and request a qualifi ed
technician to correct the problem. If it is
clear, follow the recommended engine
starting procedure. When storing your
boat for extended periods, it is preferable
to top off the tanks and add fuel condi-
tioner and or stabilizer. Please refer to the
engine owner’s manual for recommenda-
tions.
FUEL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
Maintenance of your fuel system must
also be a high priority. As boats get older,
maintenance may be done by people with
varying degrees of expertise. Materials
and methods previously used may also
change.
