MAINTENANCE
ADJUSTMENT & MAINTENANCE OF YAMAHA ENGINE & COMPONENTS
•
Periodic inspection, adjustment and lubrication will keep your Jet boat in the safest
and most efficient condition possible. Safety is an obligation of the Jet boat owner.
The most points of the Jet boat inspection, adjustment and lubrication are
explained on the following pages.
MAINTENANCE OF THE BUOYANCY TUBE
•
The buoyancy tube of your boat is manufactured from a material, which requires
very little maintenance. Wash the boat regularly using soapy water and hose down
to remove sand, etc from between the tube and the deck.
•
If repairs are required to the buoyancy tube your Avon repair kit contains full
instructions which should be followed carefully. Difficult repairs should be carried
out by an approved Avon Service Station.
MAINTENANCE OF THE HULL
•
Little maintenance is required for the glass reinforced plastic (g.r.p.) hull. Wash the
deck regularly using a mild detergent in warm soapy water and hose down to
remove sand, etc. The hull itself should be regularly polished using a good quality
marine g.r.p. polish.
•
Do not drill holes or screw into the deck, transom or seating areas.
MAINTENANCE OF CONTROL CABLES
•
The control cables, ie steering, throttle and gear cables, should be checked
regularly for wear. All metal parts should be lightly smeared with a waterproof
grease to prevent the controls seizing.
WARNING
Be sure to turn off the engine when you perform maintenance
unless otherwise specified. If the owner is not familiar with
the machine servicing, this work should be done by your
dealer.
