Operation

If water remains in the water separator, drain it by removing the drain screw. 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 watercraft, be sure to wipe it up with a dry cloth. Also, be sure to install the drain screw after draining the water separator.

Bilge

Check the bilge for moisture and fuel residue.

NOTICE: Excessive water in the engine compartment can splash into the engine, which can result in severe damage. [ECJ00341]

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 at the stern.

A small quantity of water will remain in the bilge and should be drained manually. To drain any residual water, beach the watercraft and perform the following procedure.

To drain water from the bilge:

(1)Remove the stern drain plugs.

(2)Raise the bow of the watercraft until the water drains.

(3)After the water has drained, wipe the bilge with dry rags to make sure that it is thoroughly dry.

(4)Install the stern drain plugs. NOTICE:

Before installing the stern drain plugs, clean the drain plug threads to remove any foreign materials, such as dirt or sand. Otherwise, the stern drain plugs could be damaged, allowing water to enter the engine compartment. Make sure that the stern drain plugs are tightened securely before launching the watercraft. Otherwise, water may flood the engine compartment and cause the watercraft to submerge.
