Probably sounds like a dumb question, but having looked and googled I can't seem to find out where 4Winns hid the fuel tank on this critter. I'm wanting to swap out the antisiphon valve and get a look at the fuel sunder.
Also, I'd like to be sure the vent line is clear, and can't figure how to remove the chrome cover over the vent line? I'm assuming that's the tank vent, right next to the filler.
The reason for all of this is that we just bought the boat and have had some issues that feel like fuel delivery to me. It would run, then stumble, particularly if it was being run at a steady RPM for a bit. Changed the fuel filter and gassed it up again and it actually made it run worse...which is why I was suspecting the vent. I I have a new fuel pump ready to install, and if that's not it my research leads me to the anti-siphon valve, vent line, or possibly the ESA switch or module. I did replace the spark plugs which didn't fix the problem but at least the exhaust smells less gassy.
The boat is equipped with a 2.3L Ford motor coupled to the standard OMC Cobra drive. So far I have nothing to the control cables or messed with the switches.
