Your vent inside the gas tank may be sticking. This happened to me several times. So I used a very long screw driver and pushed it into the gas tank fill. Then I filled up with gas and I had very little back splash. Like you I had to turn gas handle sideways also. I never had any problems...

No his canopy on the boat lift. The braces, holding up the canopy, bent in half. He took his boat to storage at the Marina.

Just noticed last week that I was getting rust on the Bennington emblems. I have a QX. Anyone else having this issue? Guess I will be headed to Bennington to get it replaced. Also my gas gap is becoming corroded. Just irritating since I have had this boat a year. We always wash and dry it...

Did you possibly over fill the oil tank?

We lucked out in Cape Coral area! Couldn't believe we didn't have any damage unlike Hurricane Ian. Prayers answered. This weekend we were just putting everthing back on Lania. Also, took off Canopy Cover and boat had no damage thankfully. My neighbors, across the canal, left his canopy on...

Let me know what you find out. I would like to do the same

I have two MinnKota 10' power poles on my QX. They are wonderful to use while beaching and I bought them mainly for convenience. But I also do have heavier anchors in case we are in extremely rough chop. But we like to beach all the time so very convenient to have. I would recommend having...

I am directly below you Tim in Sanibel. It's really humid down here and I have never had a problem with it drying. I have to agree with the guys about the glue/sealant. That must be the issue
