Owner’s Manual Supplement
Fuel System
Read the fuel section of the Owner’s Manual and the engine operation manual, paying special attention to the subject
of fuel recommendations.
Fuel Transfer Pump
The fuel transfer pump is used to draw fuel from a full tank to a nearly empty tank. The fuel transfer pump is acti-
vated by the fuel transfer switch, located at the helm station.
Fuel Quality
•
Make sure your fuel suppliers are reputable and can be relied upon to furnish clean, high quality fuel. Once you
have found such suppliers, keep your tanks as full as possible with their fuel (allowing for expansion due to tem-
perature variations). Then, if you are forced to add a potentially poor quality fuel supply to the tank, the portion of
poor quality fuel will be minimized.
•
Consult your dealer or local marina about fuel additives that help prevent fungus or buildup inside the fuel tanks.
Fuel Filters & Separators
Fuel filters and separators should be replaced periodically according to the guidelines and instructions detailed in
your engine manual, optional generator manual and in any filter literature included in your boat’s owner’s packet.
FIRE, EXPLOSION AND OPEN FLAME HAZARD!
•
It is very important that the fuel system be inspected thoroughly the first time it is filled and
at each subsequent filling.
•
The fueling instructions in the Owner’s Manual and the fuel recommendations in the engine
operation manual must be followed.
WARN I NG!

•
Diesel: Air in the diesel supply system can stop an engine or severely restrict performance. If
you suspect air in the fuel lines, refer to your engine operation manual for detailed instruc-
tions on how to bleed the system.
•
Avoid the storage or handling of gear near the fuel lines, fittings and tanks.
CAUTI O N!

Discharge of fuel into navigable waters is prohibited by law. Violators are subject to legal
action by the local authorities.
NOTI C E
