    Tank will not take gas

    Thanks for all the input. It seems I have a venting problem. If I remove the “flapper” I can add fuel with no problem. Looks like tank pressure got high enough the flapper would not open.

    Tank will not take gas

    I run seafoam but haven’t added it to an empty tank. The motor runs fine, just cannot put gas in the tank.

    Tank will not take gas

    this is weird. We pulled into marina to purchase fuel and cannot get any in the tank. It’s a 2018 SX21 with 115 Yamaha. The fella at the marina says the bulb is leaking also. Anybody have this kind of problem?

    Excessive spray

    Thanks for taking a look at it. My last (and first) barge was a 20’ Express with a 50 hp merc. It didn’t go fast enough to produce much spray. So when I saw this one I figured something was wrong. And I think even if it IS common it ain’t right. Spec calls for installing motor “ventilation plate...

    Excessive spray

    i have what seems like excessive spray at the rear of my SX21. I have a 115 Yamaha. I notice the engine shroud gets wet which I read can be trouble if water gets in the air intake. Any ideas?
