Controls and Indicators
Fuel Tank
There is a fuel tank fill cap on the port and starboard side for added
convenience. Use the fuel tank fill cap key to remove the fuel fill
cap to fuel your boat. Use caution when fueling your boat.
Avoid overfilling of the tank by monitoring the fuel level gauge
while fueling. Turn on the ignition without starting the engine and
monitor the gauge. Stop fueling as the gauge approaches the ‘full’
level and turn off the ignition when finished. Fuel spillage on our
waterways will pollute our environment.
The fuel tank is located beneath the cockpit deck, in the center of
the boat. To inspect the hose connections, raise the access panel.
Your Nautiques dealer should perform all fuel tank service.
Explosion or fire can occur under certain
conditions, causing death or serious injury:
• Turn the engine OFF.
• DO NOT smoke or allow open flame or sparks within
50 feet (15 meters) of the refueling area.
• DO NOT refuel unattended, avoid contact and spilling.
• DO NOT refuel indoors.
• DO NOT use a plastic funnel.
• DO NOT allow any spilled fuel to remain on your boatʼs
finish.
• DO NOT allow a fuel system problem to go unchecked.
• Always maintain contact with the fuel nozzle and the
fuel tank to prevent electrostatic spark.
