Fueling Your Boat: 3 Tips To Avoid EXPLOSIONS!

Besides a solid name for your boat, the one other thing all boats need is gas... Of course, any time that you are fueling a boat you have the risk of a gas explosion (plus some other risks we'll cover in the video).
In fact, fueling your boat is up at the top of the list for boat safety.
And this isn't just for newbie boaters... even many experienced fishermen (and full-time guides) have accidentally pumped gas into a rod holder... not to mention, how many boaters you see smoking on the docks as boats are fueling up (not smart).

How do you fill a pontoon boat , i am googling for it and can't find it? Looking into buying a pontoon boat but can't ffind any info on how to fill the gas tanks. Is it manuel you fill the motor part itself? or has the same set up as your boat has? thanks so much God Bless, love this safety video

Hey you forgot to pay for your fuel, LOL, great tips

I just saw your video on fueling the boat. It was very helpful. My boat has a bilge blower. Should the blower be on or off when putting fuel in the boat?

[@Slowhand871]

Off but then run it before you start up every time for a few min.

Can you stop at any marina for fueling, or you can do it only at the marina you are associated with? thanks

[@koasterdesk9912]

As far as I know any marina will do. That what I do.

I been doing it totally wrong I’ve been smoking and talking on my phone when I’m pumping gas into my boat 😂😂😂😂😂

[@SimplyLiving770]

How about the blower?

[@Luigi-pk8mk]

needed on gas inboards only, not needed on an outboard. gas inboards should also have a gas vapor detector.

never even mentioned static discharge
