CAUTION:
Avoid operation in weed-
ed areas. If unavoidable, vary speed.
Weeds tend to entangle more at
steady and slow speeds. Inspect wa-
ter intake grates for damage. Refer
to an authorized Sea-Doo sport boat
dealer for repair as necessary.
Capsized Boat
This boat is designed so that it should
not turn over easily due to its long and
wide dimensions. If the boat ever cap-
sizes, remember that it will continue to
float. It is usually best to remain with it
so you will be more easily located by
others.
Submerged Boat/Water-
Flooded Engine
To limit damages to the engines, per-
form the following procedure as soon
as possible.
Drain bilge.
If it was submerged in
salt water
, spray
bilge and all components with fresh wa-
ter using a garden hose to stop the salt
corroding effect.
CAUTION:
Never try to crank or start
the engines. Water trapped in intake
manifolds would flow towards the
engines and may cause severe dam-
age to the engines.
Bring the boat to be serviced by an au-
thorized Sea-Doo sport boat dealer as
soon as possible.
CAUTION:
The longer the delay be-
fore you have the engine serviced,
the greater the damage will be to the
engines. Failure to have the engines
properly serviced
will
cause severe
engine damage.
Fuel-Flooded Engines
When an engine does not start after
several attempts, that engine may be
fuel-flooded. Proceed as follows.
Crank engine several times.
If it does not work:
Disconnect ignition coil connectors.
CAUTION:
Ensure there is no dirt in
coil holes before removing the spark
plugs. Otherwise, dirt would fall into
cylinder and will damage the internal
components.
Remove ignition coils.
Remove spark plugs.
NOTE:
After loosening the spark
plugs, a coil may be used to pull the
spark plugs out. Simply bring the coil
down to spark plug and “hook” it to
then extract spark plug.
Install new spark plugs if available or dry
spark plugs using a rag.
Reinstall spark plugs and ignition coils.
Reconnect ignition coil connector.
NOTE:
After installation, ensure the seal
seats properly with the engine top sur-
face.
Start engine(s) as explained above. If
engine(s) continue to flood, see an au-
thorized Sea-Doo sport boat dealer.
CAUTION:
Never run an engine with-
out supplying water to the exhaust
cooling system when boat is out of
water.
WARNING
When boat is capsized, do not at-
tempt to restart the engines. Oper-
ator and passengers should al-
ways wear approved personal
flotation devices.
WARNING
When disconnecting coil from
spark plug, always disconnect coil
from main harness first. Never
check for engine ignition spark
from an open coil and/or spark
plug in the engine compartment
as spark may cause fuel vapor to
ignite.
