PRIMER BULB
There is a primer bulb that can be accessed in the
motorwell. The primer bulb is used to draw fuel from
the tank to the engine, usually after the fuel has been
drained from the entire system.
Fuel tank
Your boat is equipped with a 90 Gal.(341L)
polyethelene fuel tank. It is recommended that you
follow all instructions regarding the filling of fuel
tanks.
Please take time to read and understand all the fuel related
information and warnings in the engine owner’s packet.
A fuel tank with levels less than 1/4 full can cause engine
stalling problems due to fuel starvation or by allowing
sediment and dirt to enter the fuel supply lines. Keep the
tank full and monitor the fuel level often to prevent this
from happening.
Fuel Vent
A fuel vent that is integrated into the fuel fill assembly
serves as a pressure/vacuum release (See figure
3.4.1).
NOTICE
FUEL GAUGE only reads accurately
when boat is level (not underway).
