Water separator

Check the water separator 1 for water. Normally the water separator is empty. The water separator retains any water entering through the fuel tank breather hose if the watercraft is capsized.

If water remains in the water separator, drain it by removing the drain screw 2. Place a drain pan under the water separator to catch the draining water or use a dry cloth to soak up any water that could spill into the watercraft. If any water spills into the water- craft, be sure to wipe it up with a dry cloth. Be sure to install the drain screw after draining the water separator.

Bilge

Check for moisture and fuel residue in the bilge.

This watercraft is equipped with a conventional jet vacuum bilge draining system and an electric bilge draining system. The electric bilge draining system is operated when the engine is running. When excess water reaches the water inlet of the electric bilge pump, the water is discharged from the electric bilge pilot outlet 1 at the stern.

A small quantity of water will remain in the bilge and should be removed manually. To remove any residual water, beach the water- craft and perform the following procedure.

CAUTION:

If starting the engine after it has cap- sized, do not operate the engine at full open throttle when water is being discharged from the electric bilge pilot outlet at the stern. Excessive water in the bilge can splash into the engine which could cause damage.
