Fuel capacity 35 ex
Ran out of gas, refilled with 60 gallons each side. Boat is 06 35ex. Read it should hold 160 gal total. Put till gas came out of fill, should I have tried to put more? Any easy way to fill without getting gas everywhere? |
Should be 160. I've put 72 per side in my 95 35. Maybe check the length of your pickups. They could have been cut down or too short to start with. You'll never get it all out |
thanks. Also gauges were showing half full. 7 miles later out of gas and both showed empty. Any solutions or just fill each time like I normally do.
|
1/2 is empty. Lol. I've heard of people buying adjustable senders and taking the time to dial them in. In my case it appears as soon as it moves off full it's about 1/2 and then 1/2 you better be pulling in for fuel. |
First year with boat. Must have run a few times on fumes without knowing. Did notice it stays on full for a while. Thought it was good gas mileage, 😃. Thanks for info. Now if I can figure how to get it full!
|
I'd pull the pickups they should be about an inch off tank bottom. |
Not to mention it's not uncommon to leave 10-15 gallons of fuel a side because pickups and tank shape. |
Will take a look. Yesterday was first time out without topping off. Was going for quick ride on local river, so thought it was ok. Getting towed in by 14’ aluminum boat doesn’t look to good! |
Definitely. We've all run out before. That's how we learn our gauges. Haha |

Stock 496 ho. Running 32-3400. One gauge drop from almost half to quarter in short time then moved to e where it ran maybe 3 miles. Other gauge still showed half. Started back on one engine and slowly gauge moved to e and engine died half mile from ramp. |
I have been told you cant fill the tanks while on a trailer. the tanks are made to be filled while sitting in the water
|
That’s interesting. May try to fill with gas can to see if it takes more. |

I was able to put 72 gallons in each tank with mine on the trailer. Mind you it was level as the hitch is adjustable so no sag to tilt it forward. I don't know if it was ran that low on the motors or seller sucked it out. When I bought it was a little of a project so I worked on it for 2 years before fueling. I wasn't happy it was that low either way as it was full tanks of fresh fuel. So you can certainly get a good bit in on the trailer |
Fueling on trailer. Boat sits fairly level. How much would it have to be off level to make a difference? |
My freind has a 2007 EX and he thinks 100 gallons a side. He has put nearly 100 in a side so it must be at least 100. could call fountain. |
You should look into getting a Smartcraft monitor hooked up to your engines. Then you will know exactly how many gallons are used which you can just subtract from the gallons you put in.
|
Will try to add more gas this weekend before heading out. Maybe it “burped” since last fill.🤨 |
Topped off to top of fill inlet. Added another 10 gallons each side at slow pace. Guess I know what to do now. |
