Trouble pumping in gas

I have a 2003 Basstracker Pro 165 and every time I pump gas in, it will
take me about 20 minutes to fill it up. Not that it has a huge gas tank,
it just pumps in about 5 or 6 cents at a time and stops like the tank is
full when its clearly not. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any
suggestions?

Hi all, I have run across vent hoses for the gas tank that had a low
spot in them that would trap gas and let it pool. This causes the vent
not to work as well as it should and can make filling slow and hard.

It might be worth checking.

Hope this helps, DC

Often this is because of a kinked up gas hose too (ie. making
it's turn too sharp right under the boat). If the gas hose doesn't
have enough length...consider getting a longer hose (but make sure
it's clamped on tight...any air in the line will cause probs)...

Thanx for all the input guys...I checked out the "kinked" hose thing and
sure enough the hose is bent to an angle causing it to make my gas
pumping very difficult. Gonna fix that...thanx again for your help
