hmmmmmmm- take a hose put one end in the tank, the other in your mouth.suck hard.allow to prime.fill container(s)!

Or, take the same long hose. Push the entire hose into the tank, well hold onto to one end, close the hose off with your thumb and pull the hose partially out with the end sealed. This will create a vaccum and prime the hose for you (trust me, gas doesn't taste so good). Stick the end in a can, remove your thumb and it will siphon.

Push the hose down into the tank, block the vent, seal the hose with a rag, blow air into the hose to create pressure in the tank, let off and gas should come right back up the hose priming the siphon.

If you can get the pin out of the fuel relays on the motor you can jumper two pins together that'll activate the in tank pump, then disconnect at the FCC and attach a hose. We did this once at the shop when the tank was full and didn't want to do the old fashion suck on the tube deal.

If you use a rubber hose, be careful when you pull it out the filler tube. I did that on a 85 2001, scraped rubber off the sides of the hose and the next year it plugged the siphon tube. PITA to find, easy to fix. The funny part was, I called my local dealer and explaned my problem. The dealers son(who was 14 at the time) told me that the siphon tube was plugged, but I did not believe him. Spent much time and money(and aggrevation) to finally find it.

The boat would idle and take off fine, but would die out after about 20 seconds.

At night when everyone is sleeping works best and bring someone that runs slower than you. However be careful Nautique owners tend to react harshly when someone messes with there boats.
