Propeller Shaft Stuffing Box

The stuffing box is designed to prevent water from coming through the through-hull fittings. These are found on the propeller shaft where the shaft goes through the hull and where the rudder comes up through the bottom of the boat. These devices contain a lubricated fibrous packing that acts as a seal.

Check the propeller shaft stuffing box frequently for excessive leakage. The engine must be OFF. A leaking rate of a few drops per minute is acceptable and expected for proper lubrication. Raise the engine cover and remove the storage bulkheads. If you see a steady stream of water or an excessive drip rate, return your boat to your Nautique dealer for service.

Through-Hull Fittings

All fittings that actually pass through the hull on the wetted surface are caulked in. These are not serviceable and must not be tampered with.

Quick Oil Drain System

Change the engine oil after the first 25 hours of operation, then after every 50 hours. The boat must be removed from the water to use the quick oil drain system. There is a drain hose attached to the bottom of the oil pan with a small plug screwed into the loose end of the hose. Remove the drain plug (T-handle) (A), located in the bilge area, and put the end of the drain hose through the drain hole.

Make sure there are no kinks or sharp bends in the hose. Remove the plug at the end of the hose and drain the oil into a container under the boat. The engine will drain most efficiently when the oil is warm. Allow several minutes for the oil to settle and drain. Dispose of used oil in an environmentally safe manner.

NOTICE

Be sure the engine is off when you are draining your oil.
