4.1 General
All fuel systems and components on your EdgeWater 200CC / DC have been checked and each fuel
tank has been pressure tested. This inspection and pressure testing assure that your fuel system is
leakproof and safe. It is the purchaser’s responsibility to maintain the fuel system in a safe manner.
Make periodic inspections to determine the system is still safe and free from leaks. Special care should
be taken when inspecting joints and connections to make sure they have not loosened with vibration.
The EdgeWater fuel system has been designed to meet or exceed the requirements of the U.S. Coast
Guard, the National Marine Manufacturers Association, and the American Boat and Yacht Council, which
were in effect at the time of your boat’s manufacture.
If any odor of gasoline is detected, immediately shut off all engines and electrical devices
until the source and condition of the odor has been determined and eliminated. Have a fire
extinguisher at the ready until the condition has been resolved.
4.2 Fuel Fill
The fuel fill cap is located on the port side and is labeled “GAS”. The fill is opened
by turning it counterclockwise, and closed by turning the cap clockwise. Tighten
the cap until it is snug, not so tight it cannot be removed at the next fuel stop, or
so tight that the rubber o-ring is damaged, allowing water to enter the system.
4.3 Fuel Vent
This vent is located on the portside of the boat on the hull. This vent allows air to
escape from the tank and thus allows fuel to enter. Make sure this vent is kept
free from debris.
