3.10-1 Dewatering System operation
The dewatering system is utilized after total motor submersion. After the Raider is installed
on the transom and secured the dewatering lever, located on the left side of the motor, is
pushed toward the back of the outboard motor.
The operator must depress the lever to full back position, then press fuel bulb for four presses.
This evacuates all potential water that would be in the carburetor.
This action also opens up two dewatering valve located in the head of each cylinder. The
operator will slowly pull the starter rope a minimum of eight SLOW pulls. This eliminates all
water trapped between pistons and the head. Following instructions located on the motor
cowling the Raider should start within five minutes using the pull start.
It is critical after submersion the motor is turned over by hand for a minimum of eight slow
pulls; insure the rope is engaged prior to pulling as to not put pressure on the pull starter.
NEVER use the electric start immediately after submersion as the water trapped will cause
internal damage to the outboard.
