i have a merc alpha one on a 1999 bayliner 1850ss capri. Anyways, my
wife came to me the other night telling me that the basement smelt like
gas. (the previous night i filled up the i/o and put it in the garage.)
when i filled it i did spill some on the back of the boat. however i
did wipe it up. well now it is 2 days later. i have not done anything
with the boat, it is still sitting in my garage. i came home from work
tonite and opened the garage door and smelt gas. so i opened up the
bottom cover between the 2 front seats of the boat. (where you may put
like skis or something) and WOOO did i smell gas fumes .. i looked all
around and did not see any leaks. is this normal and do i just need to
make sure not to fill up the boat until i am going out in it. is this
why i am smelling gas, do i have anything to be worried about? let me
know if you have any ideas with this. thanks brian
