Boat Cleaning/Repair
Wash the body and the trailer with
soap and water solution (only use mild
detergent). Rinse thoroughly with fresh
water. Remove any marine organisms
from the hull.
Stains may be removed from seats
and fiberglass with Knight’s Spray-
Nine* from Korkay System Ltd or the
equivalent.
If repairs are needed to the body or to
the hull, contact your dealer. For paint
touch up to mechanical parts use
Bombardier spray paint. For minor
gelcoat repairs, a Bombardier repair kit
is available. Replace damaged labels/
decals.
Clean the bilge with hot water and de-
tergent or with bilge cleaner. Rinse
thoroughly. Unscrew drain plug(s) and
lift front end of jet boat to completely
drain bilge.
Antifreezing Protection
In cool regions where freezing point
temperature may be encountered,
cooling system must be filled with wa-
ter and antifreeze solution. (50% wa-
ter, 50% antifreeze).
NOTE:
When available, it is recom-
mended to use biodegradable anti-
freeze compatible with internal com-
bustion aluminum engines. This will
contribute to protect the environment.
NOTE:
The engines will not have to
run during this operation but should
have been run before to exhaust wa-
ter from cooling system components.
Some hoses have to be plugged to
prevent draining before filling cooling
system jackets with the antifreeze.
Use hose pinchers (not supplied) (P/N
529 030 400).
Air will escape from bleed hose on
tuned pipe.

CAUTION
Never clean apparent fiberglass
and plastic parts with strong de-
tergent, degreasing agent, paint
thinner, acetone, etc.
-
CAUTION
Antifreeze mix must be fed in
cooling system. Otherwise water
will freeze in engine
s
/exhaust
system causing severe damage.
-
CAUTION
Always use ethylene glycol anti-
freeze containing corrosion in-
hibitors specifically recommend-
ed for aluminum engines.
