Whaler have said that it is not a warranty issue but I don't see how as the hull wont take fuel and it has not been modified. Apparently due to a one way valve installed in the fuel hose? Anyone?

In both these cases the advice is: Do NOT use the auto-stop feature but rather fill the tank at 1/2 speed. Pay particular attention to the attitude of the boat either at the dock or on the trailer. In some cases a stern bias of the hull will make the problem occur. Is the boat on the trailer or at the fuel dock? Is the fuel being pumped fast? 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT
