    I don't use them for my boat but I heard about them from this site. I purchased 2 for my riding lawnmower and love them. A+++++

    I agree the shaker siphon is a great product with no battery's, no spillage and easy to use and its pretty fast too.
    They have a couple different diameters for different size fueling necks.

    I used to mess around pouring jerry cans through funnels until I found a jiggle siphon. Google it. Zero hassle and it empties a 5 gallon drum in minutes. So simple and 100 percent effective.

    Here is something quite a bit different and I am sure more expensive:

    The gas dingo:
    www.gasdingo.com

    Faction Marine in MN has this on their FB Page.

    Seems like it would be a nice set up for those of you that live on the water.

    I live on a neighborhood on the lake and it's a pain to drag to the station. The shaker hose and some 5 gallon cans works. Set the can on top of a ladder next to the boat shake it to get started and let it do it's thing.

    Easy, inexpensive and very fast.

    First you insert the funnel. It does not move around at all because it's a snug fit.

    Then add stabil (if the gas goes in the boat the same weekend, I do it
    this way. If the gas will be stored for any time at all, I put the stabil in the gas cans)

    Then pour in your gas

    With the JP Racing gas cans, 6 gallons takes under 35 seconds.
    With a regular gas can it's 5-10 seconds longer.

    I can put in 4 gas cans (24 gallons), not spill a drop and be back on the water in less than 5 minutes.

    Exact same solution for the jetskis.

    jharris the cart is a great idea! Man I wish the path down to my boat didn't involve so many steps!

    After trying different solutions from Gas Caddy to carrying and pouring in 5 gallon cans, this was my final solution. I can fill all the cans at the gas station and roll all the way down dock. The syphon tube moves the gas directly to the boat. Maybe not the fastest but gives me a few extra minutes to clean the boat a bit more. Also nice that my kids can easily do this themselves.
