Hi,
I have a 2022 23SXSB. I am new to pontoons. I have a problem getting gas to flow full “speed” / volume when fueling. It constantly cuts off. This problem just developed over past month.
Any help/ advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
David

Search for ‘side fill problems’ in upper right hand corner. I replaced my fuel side fill with direct fill tanks for reasons unrelated to the problem. In that process I studied the side fill parts that came out. The fuel fill system is designed to prevent overfill at the gas docks. I think it is sensitive to contamination trapped in a small plastic venturi fitting on the backside of the filler. It is also sensitive to restriction of a pilot line running from that fitting to a tank top valve. That restriction could be fuel trapped in a low spot or just a simple kink. For the purposes of troubleshooting one can determine if it is one of these issues by rotating the small plastic fitting a half a turn. You will need to temporarily remove the screw that indexes and retains the fitting. Temporarily hold the fitting in place during the test. If the fill problem goes away fix the above fitting contamination or line restriction. Finish up by rotating the the plastic fitting in order to be EPA compliant and to retain the plastic fitting.
 
I also had a fill issue, normally only when hot out. I turn the Gas Nozzle upside down - problem solved.
