Fuel Precautions
Use a gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 89. The
Supercharged engine should use a minimum octane rating of
93. See engine owner’s manual for more information.
DO NOT use gasoline containing methyl alcohol (methanol).
Methanol can damage your boat’s fuel system.
Gasoline Stabilizer should be added to the fuel tank when
the boat is used infrequently or whenever your boat will not
be used for two weeks or more. During storage, always add
Gasoline Stabilizer to reduce gumming or tank sludge.
E-10 fuels require fuel stabilizers that are specifically
designed for E-10 fuels to help prevent moisture absorption,
phase separation and gasoline stabilization.
Filling the Tank
Be especially careful when lling the fuel tank. DO NOT
over ll the tank. Fuel may empty through the fuel vent and
damage to nishes could result.
If fuel is spilled on stripes or decals, apply a common bath
cleaner (nonabrasive) and wipe with a damp cloth. Rinse the
spill area with clean water.
E15 FUEL WARNING
• DO NOT USE E15 FUELS! E15 fuel WILL damage your
engine and it will not operate.
• THIS DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY
Fuel Precautions
Sparks while fueling could cause an explosion!
Before Fueling:
1. Turn o engine.
2. Turn o all electrical systems.
3. Extinguish cigarettes or any open ame.
While Fueling:
1. Keep fuel hose nozzle in contact with ll pipe to provide
grounding.
2. Fill tank at a slow rate to avoid spills.
The fuel cap is located on the rear deck, 2-4 feet from
the stern. To open, push the black tab located on
the bottom side of thegas cap. When the black tab is
pushed, the gas cap will hinge upward. To close, push
the gas cap down. When the gas cap is completely
closed a “click” sound should be heard. The audible
“click” ensures that the gas cap is closed and sealed.
The new fueling system prevents spillage from
occurring. Air is allowed to escape from the front
and rear of the gas tank. Both vents are on a central
fuel line, which runs to a central holding container
for the vapor. The vapor is released over time. This
type of venting system allows for the tank to be filled
without building any back pressure. Without back
pressure, spillage should be completely eliminated
from the fueling process.
This venting system doesn’t allow water to enter the
fuel system. In the unlikely event that water runs up
against the fuel vent, the fuel vent has a one-way
valve. The one way valve allows for air to release,
but denies water from entering. The gas cap itself
is sealed with a rubber seal. When the gas cap is
“clicked” closed the seal prevents any water from
entering the system.
