FUEL SYSTEM
The fuel system consists of a built-in fuel tank, a fuel tank vent, a
port and/or starboard fuel fill on V-drive models.
The fuel tank is located mid-ship, fore of the engine. To inspect
the hose connections, raise the floor panels. Your Tigé Dealer or a
qualified service technician should perform all fuel system service.
BALLAST TANK SYSTEM (OPTIONAL)
Our systems throw the right size wake or wave for every rider—on
both sides of the boat. But the size of the wake isn’t all that matters.
With TAPS, anyone can achieve outrageous levels of wake-shaping
and can go from a wakeboard wake to a slalom wake in just five
seconds.
Because every Tigé model is built on the patented Convex V hull, you
get the biggest wake imaginable with greater fuel efficiency and less
drag than with any other inboard. Ballast settings are controlled by the
Tigé Touch2 or the ActiveTouch Command Center (R-Series models).
Under any circumstance, do not fill all ballast tanks to 100% at one
time. Do not exceed coast guard capacity at any time.
For prime wakesurfing performance (first consider passenger weight
and distribution) then most likely you will add rear ballast and no front
ballast. For surfing more weight needs to be distributed aft.
For prime wakeboarding performance (first consider passenger weight
and distribution) then add ballast to even out total weight distribution.
IN ALL CASES NEVER EXCEED COAST GUARD CAPACITY
BILGE SYSTEMS
NOTICE
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act prohibits the discharge of oil or
oily waste into the water. Violators can be fined $5,000.
IMPORTANT
Bilge pumps and bilge pumping systems are not designed for
damage control. Check the function of all bilge pumps at regular
intervals. Debris can also prevent pumps from functioning or also
make it operate continuously. Make sure no debris is blocking
the bilge pump float. Continuous operation of the bilge can mean
a leak or a drain plug is installed incorrectly, make sure all drain
plugs are installed. See your Tigé Dealer if you have any questions.
DO NOT allow water to accumulate in the bilge area of your boat.
When the boat is in use, check the bilge area often. Your Tigé boat is
equipped with an automatic bilge pump which detects excess water
accumulation and will turn the bilge pump on automatically. Bilge
water normally accumulates from weather, wet water sports gear,
getting into your boat from the water and draining coolers.
The engine and other parts of the drive system could be damaged
and there is a risk of personal injury as increasing water level will
affect the handling and maneuverability of the boat.
