Can anyone tell me what the fuel capacity is for my boat.

It is a 1984 Four Winns Marquise 170 outboard. The fuel gauge seems to have a gremlin and I'd like to know about what the capacity is before I go and run it dry somewhere I don't want to be. :redface:

Go to the Four Winns official site and find the "past product info" link. You can download the original catalog and manual for your boat including the capacities.

Oops, I just looked and noticed it only goes back to 1986. Sorry.

Thanks for the try. ;)

I have found that a fellow's pretty much S.O.L. with finding info on an older Four Winns. Even from the people that made them. :mad:

I can see ceasing to stock parts for a 26 year old boat. But, I mean.......really.........how much more of a burden on their system could it be to have older owner's manuals in a corner of their server somewhere????

First, you youngsters :) need to remember that the web hasn't been in the mainstream for all that long, and it's a big task to make all that old info accessible online. Second, brand names change hands all the time- new owners may or may not buy rights to all that old stuff, or be interested in maintaining it.

The Chris-Craft brand has been around for 135 years. Mine was built while they were owned by OMC. Their web site doesn't even have a link to past models.
