I have had this problem with my boat also. It has to do with the angle of the fuel nozzel. It must be pointed a certain way or it clicks off. And filling from a gas can requires a funnel with a long spout.

In my opinion, it was a poor enginering design. The fuel filler neck should of been installed on the side of the boat, not the back. With the filler neck in the back, not only you can't top up the tank, it also allows fuel to spill into the water when overflowing. That has happend to every marina trying to top up my boat. My Sea-Doo jetboat had the neck on the side and it was no problems filling that boat up, on the trailer or on the water....
