Getting Underway

The following instructions are very important:

Raise the engine hatch all the way up. Check to see if all the engine drain plugs are in place. Make sure the hull drain plug T-handle in the bilge area is installed.

Look at all the hoses to make sure they are installed and the hose clamps are tight. Close the engine hatch and turn on the engine compartment blower. Run the blower at least four minutes to remove fuel vapors that might be in the bilge area and engine compartment before starting engine. Remember, if you have detected the presence of fuel vapors, do not start the engine until the source has been determined, problems corrected and vapors removed.

Check all gasoline line connections. Connections are located at the fuel tank, the fuel control cell and the fuel injection system. All Correct Craft boats are equipped with anti-siphon valves on the outlet fittings of the fuel tanks to reduce the chance of fuel siphoning from the fuel tank if a fuel hose leaks or is severed.

Fill the fuel tank and check for leaks. Check again for leaks after the engine has run for a few minutes.
