What method is best for fueling your boat up at your dock?

Yes, exactly. The battery operated pump is a nice solution, but just one more thing to carry down and maintain. I like the Lillipad becasue it's always there, hose included, and seems like it would be about the easiest/fastest option possible.

If someone wants to try to organize a group buy, I'd be interested.

I was thinking of making something similar out of a short 2 foot section of 6" pvc I found. With a couple reducers and caps it would only cost a couple bucks. Won't look as clean by my dock is a little rustic.

everything in one storage box at my street-side dock
Drop N Fill
(4) 6 Gal VP cans
(4) 5 gal cans
(3) large 24 Q milk crates (3pack on Amazon)
lifetime 150 gal storage box (inside dimensions 55”x25” by 27” tall)
winch cover( larger size 8500 and snip a little elastic to fit- is a dust cover to keep debris out of drop n fill when stored.

Drill one single hole in side of milk crate for hose. Zip tie to bottom. Then you can stack milk crates for necessary height for gravity drainage. Small cans are very manageable. Its really fast setup and takes less than a minute per can.

I got 4 of the VP Racing 5 gallon fuel jugs with the long spouts for about $100 on Amazon. I fill them up at the gas station and then we put them on the back of the 6 seater golf cart (they fit perfectly between the rails) and drive them down to the dock. Then I have my boys help me carry them and fill the boat.

VP style is great but there are others that have double handles that work much better. Having a handle at the bottom makes a jug so much easier to control and that is where the VP's fail. If you want to spend the money check out Hunsaker jugs. They have an 8-gallon that will not tip over in the car and dumps super fast. Just make sure you have the proper-sized spout for your boat. My old boat I could dump a can in 15 seconds but my newer 230 has a restrictive opening. Not sure why Nautique did that.

MOINFLO I like that setup!
