    Spilling fuel

    Anyone else had issue after filling up with fuel for it to leak down the rub rail while trailering? Also who else has broke a seat on A Falcon? Mine is the 3rd seat that I know of to break all less than 3 yrs old. I was told there is no warranty either on the seats. The whole in head rest is almost completely gone after 1.5 years. I love the boat and this is the only real gripe I have with mine.

    Never had a leaking issue for fuel, but getting the right angle for filling up took a few minutes.

    You cant fill any bass boat to the top. Seats are made by LLebric. ChampioN used them for years I would contact them and complain.

    My seats were 5 years old and looked brand new in my 2005 ChampioN 188 Elite. One of the reasons I like Falcons is the llebric seats. I had the 305 model bass boat seat I would request Falcon use this model if I were to order a boat from them.

    I used to fill my Ranger up till the pump was shutting off. Gas shouldn't be coming out period!!

    when I fill up my falcon's I always put the nozzle in upside down and usually stops any issue......also when I hear the fuel getting full I stop it and feather the pump release.

    I have had a little fuel come out when trying to fill it all the way up, but seems to vary on what pump I'm using. Some will shut off the way they should, some will spill a little. Never had fuel leaking any other time. As for the the seats, have not had any issues with mine and have not seen or heard of any others. As others mentioned, Llebroc would be your contact for the seats.
