Johnny,
I think I've seen her drawings in the C archives at the Marine Museum of
the Great Lakes at Kingston. If you contact Doug Cowie, Marine Museum
Manager, through their website, you might be able to get copies of them.

Paul,
I spent a lot of time in your neck of the woods in the early 80's while

For filling the tank from a jerry can without a lot of mess, have you tried

It's simply a hose with a ball valve on one end. Put the

Like many have pointed out, the shaker siphon is great. You only need to try
it once to be convinced. This is especially true filling up offshore. As for

them at the pump. That way you get the best of both.

I use this method to siphon gas from 5 gallon cans into my tractors. I
use a clear 1/2" tygon tube for the fuel transfer and a piece of 1/4"
line to pressurize. I can drain the full can into the tank. I set the
gas can up on top of the tractor fuel tank.

Consider not adding the fuel.
This is an urban myth that the condensation would add a lot of water to the
fuel. The water in the fuel tank comes usually from the leaking fill hose
cover. If you don’t believe it, do some calculations (;-).
Depending how much you motor, if you keep topping up
I really like the idea of the siphon hose with the shaker pump on the end as it
is something small and simple that I can keep on the boat with the funnel and
should be very clean to operate. I like using a funnel with a water excluding
filter, which eliminates some of the suggestions. I have

I found I have to forego the funnel and lift the can so it is over the fill

First, get a bigger funnel.
Second, instead of having the spout of the can facing away from you, turn
the can around, and have the spout facing toward you. when the spout is
