Don't forget to use your blower!

Remember to pull the seat of off your PWC before starting to check for fumes. There is no blower, and sloppy fueling can lead to gas fumes building up. We go to 2-3 explosions each season.

Good info here. We only used blower on our last boat when starting for the first time of the day. After reading the Cobalt manual, we use it several times a day, including after sitting or put-putting around. Glad I read this and next season we'll turn on blower while gassing up.

NO!....not during a fill up.

It's only AFTER you fill up do you run the blower a minimum of 4 minutes K1111111111114. That way you don't suck gas fumes into the bilge area and blow them back out.

Hey don't feel bad. I was in your camp until Willyswagon posted the correct procedure. We all sharpen each other here.

Like iron sharpens iron! Well, except for BB. It's hard to sharpen silly putty.

A boat at our marina caught fire last week.
Lucky no one was hurt.

Hopefully it wasn’t this one in the slip next to you. It still may be burning ...

Bohomme Richard?
Wasn't that John Paul Jones' boat?
Before he was in Led Zepplin?

I turn it on as soon as I get to the dock and it stays on all day. The only exception is if we stop to swim. Then I turn it on as soon as we decide to head out. By the time everyone is loaded and the anchor is up, the coast is clear.
