Draining the bilge water on water
A small quantity of bilge water will remain in the engine compartment even after the bilge water is drained on water. To completely remove the bilge water, remove the watercraft from the water and wipe up any remaining moisture in the engine compartment with a dry cloth.
Jet vacuum bilge draining system
While the watercraft is operating, a vacuum is generated in the jet pump that draws in the bilge water from the engine compartment and discharges it from the jet thrust nozzle.
To drain the bilge water on water:
Operate the watercraft as straight as possible and above planing speed for at least 2 min- utes. NOTICE: Do not run the engine at full throttle for at least 1 minute after the engine has been restarted. Bilge water in the engine compartment can splash into the engine, which can result in severe dam-
age. [ECJ00553]

WARNING
Always turn the fuel cock knob to “OFF” when transporting the watercraft, otherwise fuel could leak out into the engine or engine compartment, which would create a fire hazard.
When transporting the watercraft on a trailer, secure the bow rope hole and stern of the wa- tercraft to the trailer with ropes or tie downs. Use a rubber shock cord to secure the steering pole to the watercraft. NOTICE: Do not secure the steering pole with ropes or tie downs and do not secure it to the trailer. Also, do not transport the watercraft with the steering pole up. Otherwise, the steering pole could be damaged. Wrap the ropes or tie downs with towels or rags
