I am not sure if the front/back slope is as critical. Looks like the hose runs almost straight down from the fill at the top of the stern and then curves towards centerline. I bet that's the problem. When I am filling, I am standing in the rear on the port side. Bet I am tipping the boat towards port, so that the fuel is almost running up hill to get to the tank (which is center in the stern).

It's only a maybe a 3 ft run.....but I bet that's it. On the trailer it was level...slight slope to the center and it filled fine. With me standing there, it is an uphill run.

I'll either tie up facing so I can fill from the dock OR put heavier people on the opposite side.

Will try this week.

If not, ugh....maybe I can try re-routing..

Thanks,

Jim
