Capsized Boat
The sport boat is designed so that it
should not turn over easily due to its
long and wide dimensions. If the sport
boat ever capsizes, remember that it
will continue to float. It is usually best
to remain with it, you will be more eas-
ily located by others.
Submerged Boat
Flooded Engine
In the event the engine cannot be ser-
viced within a few hours, remove
spark plug cables and connect them
on the grounding device.
Remove spark plugs and dry them
with a clean and dry cloth.
Cover spark plug holes with a rag.
Ensure choke lever is completely
pushed in.
Crank engine for approximately 10
seconds to allow water to escape from
spark plug openings.
Spray BOMBARDIER LUBE lubricant
into spark plug holes.
Crank engine again.
Reinstall spark plugs.
Start engine normally.
Towing the Boat in Water
In the event the sport boat becomes
inoperative, tie a tow rope to the bow
(front) eyelet. However, special pre-
cautions should be taken.
The maximum recommended towing
speed is 24 km/h (15 MPH).
When towing your boat in water, pinch
the water supply hose from the jet
pump housing(s) to the engine(s) with
a hose pincher (not supplied) (P/N 529
032 500) shown in the following illus-
tration.
This will prevent the cooling system
from filling which may lead to water be-
ing injected into and filling the exhaust
system(s). Without the engine(s) run-
ning there isn’t any exhaust pressure
to carry the water out the exhaust out-
let(s).
CAUTION:
Failure to do this may re-
sult in damage to the engine(s). If you
must tow a stranded boat in water
and do not have hose pincher(s) be
sure to stay well below the maximum
towing speed of 24 km/h (15 MPH).
WARNING
When boat is capsized, do not at-
tempt to restart the engine. Oper-
ator and passengers should al-
ways wear approved personal
flotation devices.
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to restart engine.
See an authorized dealer as soon as
possible to service the engine.
WARNING
Never crank engine with spark
plugs removed unless spark plug
c a b l e s a r e c on n e c t e d t o t h e
