If you burn a whole tank every time you go out, never mind but we
usually get 2 or 3 trips on a fillup. I came up with this to remind me to put some gas in before I get ready to go. It is better than figuring out I am low after we are all on board and I start the motor. I hang this on the lift switch when I am putting the boat away if I know I am low coming in. I will see this before I get on the dock. Then I can get a can of gas and put it in while the lift is going down. http://gfretwell.com/ftp/gas%20reminder.jpg |

That is a standard A14D Furnas drum switch that comes with Ace lift plates. It is rated up to 1.5HP but most lift motors are 3/4 or 1 HP. |

I don't really have much of a checklist for the boat. We take a cooler, dog water and a trash can. Leaving the boat is gathering up those 3 plus whatever else we picked up. (usually just trash) Gas is the wild card. It is not an "every trip" thing. If we are just putting around, we may only burn a gallon or two. I put 5 or 6 in at a time depending on which can I use. When I notice that gas is coming up, I hang this on the dog water and hang it on the lift switch when I am getting off. Works great. |

Call the Marriott When I was a kid my dad had a 51 Ford pickup truck with a broken gas gauge. He didn't have a written checklist, but every time he drove the truck he put $1 worth of gas in it. (the good old days) One day he couldn't get the whole $1 in. Mikek |
