New owner of this boat this year, still working out my operations etc.
One challenge has been fueling the boat. If I take it to a gas station, I almost can't make it pump slow enough to not backwash. I have a little better success with a funnel inserted, but still very slow going. So far using 5 gallon cans and a funnel seems like my best option.
I checked that the vent line is clear. I note the fuel fill line makes a 90 degree turn below the deck fitting, so maybe a design issue?

Yep design issue, fuel hose makes a sharp turn.
It helps if you try to angle the fuel nozzle in the same direction. I can’t remember exactly but I think it worked best with the bottom of the handle up and facing back, but you still have to ease the fuel in.
