Sbecker, the gas shut off works and doesn’t ever leak out the vent?

I filled up yesterday and no problem, except I used half of it and now I need to fill up again

I don’t think it is an issue with Pioneer but is common with most boats. The way I fill my 197 is from outside of the boat. I’ll stick the nozzle in as far in as possible and squeeze the dispense trigger fully . This will create the most pressure and make the auto shut-off happen sooner. Once it shuts off, I can stop now and no mess or try to top off by intermittently squeezing it in ten second intervals to put in an additional 1 or 2 gallons keeping an eye on the fill hole the whole time looking for bubbles.

If you ain’t hooked, you ain’t doing it right.

It’s normal and they make these because of it.

Yep and I wish it was a drier ride. (**() boat runs great but it’ll give you a salt bath.

Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn’t go so far as to call a dog filthy but they’re definitely dirty. But, a dog’s got personality. Personality goes a long way.
