Features
Bilge Siphon Feature
The sport jet incorporates an automatic bilge siphoning feature. The bilge siphon is working whenever the engine is operating
above idle speeds. Maximum performance of the bilge siphon is achieved above 3000 RPM. A hose is attached to the jet pump
nozzle, routed to the engine compartment, and placed in the bilge. Water exiting the nozzle creates a suction, or vacuum, in the
hose, creating the bilge siphon, and drawing water out of the boat.
!
CAUTION
Fasten the bilge siphon hose so that the siphon break is positioned above the waterline. Positioning the siphon break incorrectly
can result in siphoning water directly into the boat. Excess water in the bilge can damage the engine or cause the boat to sink.
