Bilge Drain Plug(s)
A T-handled, brass bilge drain plug is located in the
engine compartment of all models. Location is normally
directly below the drive-train unit. To access, lift motor
box and look aft of the ski-tow pylon, and forward of the
engine. On the V-drive models, the T-handle can be found
by lifting the rear passenger seat. The T-handle is located
just below the V-drive unit.
Ensure that all transom and bilge drain plugs are securely in
place before placing the boat in the water.
Speedometer Pickup
Your boat is equipped with a Paddle wheel speedometer
pickup, which can be found directly under the running
surface of your boat. The paddle wheel is used to measure
static water by rotation of the paddle wheel unit. This
information is transferred to the dash computer and a
computer program converts information which is
transferred to the speedometer gauge.
See troubleshooting section of this manual for basic
maintenance information.
Tilt Steering Wheel
The tilt steering wheel allows for maximum driver
comfort. To adjust the height of the wheel, simply press
down on the lever located under the wheel. Move the
wheel to the position that is most comfortable. When the
wheel is in the desired position, simply release the lever to
lock the wheel in place.
