Rookie mistake on a brand new 2017 240

[robert843]

Well this post won't be as exciting as the title sounds but went to take my new 2017 AR240 out for the very first time today. Stopped at the gas station and the boat wouldn't take any fuel. I remembered someone having the same issue so @veedubtek dove right in and unscrewed the 4 bolts that hold the the door to the fuel compartment on we started unhooking hoses and looking for kinks pulled apart the vent point to see if it was clogged and no luck. I had looked on the connect screen the fuel level said empty we were stumped. One of the people who was with me when I picked the boat from the dealer happened to call right then and I explained the issue I was having they then told me the dealer told them when I wasn't outside with them they had filled the boat up with gas for me I guess apparently if the key is not in the on position the conext screen shows depth not fuel ugh lesson learned I did get a good look at the fuel compartment and all the hoses and connections out of the deal though lol.

OOPS!!! @veedubtek is always itching to turn some wrenches

So.......How did she run?

I wasn't letting something as silly as fuel keep me off the water today!

Boat runned awesome though. Hit 49? I believe with 4 adults, 2 kids, and full tank. Quiet, smooth, super nice. Made me really second guess my FiSH.

This is too funny. I wonder what the other folks at the gas station thought "look at these guys with their fancy new boat and don't even know how to fill it up"...hahaha

In all seriousness, when are you going to post some on the water pics of your new ride @robert843? I'm looking forward to seeing some.

Sometimes the easiest solution is the correct one.

Trust me, I know from experience. I do things like this a lot.
