Ummm; I just hold the handle wen it gets close so it doesn't kick back. If I didn't top it off I'd have to get gas more than we already do, which is every few days at the peak.Quote:

Chawk, I just grab a couple of the paper towels they have out at the gas stations and wrap them around the pipe. If any gas over flows out, the paper towels absorb most of the spill and maybe just a trickle gets on boat. Just wipe that up real good and move on.

Fill the boat all the way up, after a while you'll get pretty good at guessing how many gallons it will take according to where the fuel gauge is at. And the more time at the pump is less time on the lake. There are days were we fill the boat up 2 times a day.
Here are some pics of the tower speakers;

Yup lol! By not filling it all the way up your screwing yourself out of the built in reserve system, just saying :rolleyes:Quote:

As gas evaps you can squeeze them out and reuse them.
Another tip is to get a paper towel soaking wet and a dry one before you pump. Keep your ear near the fuel fill and you'll hear a sudden change from filling to gurgling when it's almost full. If you do spill just quick wipe the area with the soaked towel and dry, no damage.
The less you worry about your boat and what might happen or get damaged the more you'll actually enjoy it, trust me on that one! ;)
After I spill all down the side of the boat I grab the window washer squeegee and wash the side of the boat and then squeegee it all off. Finish with a paper towel wipe.
