Warning: If fuel odors are detected, do not start the engine! Check to make certain there are
no leaks or system problems before starting the engine.
Warning: Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is running. Do not allow smoking or open
flames within 50 ft. of the fueling area. Fuel is very flammable. To prevent damage to the
engine, use only fuels without harsh additives or alcohol. Refer to your engine owner’s
manual for specific fuel requirements.
4.5 Fuel System Maintenance
Regularly inspect the fuel system components. All lines, fittings, and bulbs should be flexible and not
corroded. If fittings or other components are found to be cracked, they should be replaced at once. If
you use your boat infrequently or do not use it for an extended period of time, a fuel conditioner should
be added to a full tank of fuel to prevent fuel deterioration and damage to the fuel system.
4.6 Fuel Filters
A fuel filter is installed in the transom area of your EdgeWater 200CC / DC.
This is a fuel/water separator type of filter and is designed to prevent water
from entering your engine. The fuel filter element is a spin-off type element. At
a minimum, this element should be replaced at the beginning of every boating
season. Always carry a filter wrench and spare filter of the type supplied on
your boat.
