Section 8
Bilge Pumps
Check your bilge pumps often to make sure they are operating efficiently. There are two bilge pumps: one is at the rear of the boat near the rudder and under the floor by the forward bulkhead located next to the fuel tank. Keep the pumps from getting clogged, remove any debris you find in the bilge. Wash the bilge with a good biodegradable household detergent or a bilge cleaner available at your Correct Craft dealer or a marine supply store. Rinse with water with your bilge pumps running. If your pumps seems to lag, remove the top of the pump from the base and check the impeller to make sure there is no debris inside. See your dealer if there is still a problem with the pumps.
Propeller
CAUTION
•A propeller can be very sharp. Be careful when you handle it. Wear a pair of protective gloves when handling any propeller.
•Remove your key from the ignition and remove the Emergency Stop Switch clip from the switch to prevent accidental starting of the engine.
•DO NOT reuse the nylon locknut or the cotter pin.
•DO NOT use a damaged propeller. A damaged propeller can damage your engine and boat.
Removal
1.Remove the cotter pin from the propeller shaft and discard.
2.Wedge a piece of 1" x 4" wood between the propeller blade and the starboard side of the strut and rudder.
3.Remove the nylon locknut and discard.
