Lubricating the Driveshaft Bearing

Before  each  use,  lubricate  the  driveshaft  bearing.  Refer  to 

Maintenance  -  Lubricating  the 

Driveshaft Bearing.

Operating In Freezing Temperatures

If there is a chance of ice forming on the water, the jet drive should be raised out of the water and 
drained completely of water. If ice should form at the water level inside the outboard driveshaft 
housing, it will block water flow to the engine causing possible damage. Do not start the engine 
until the ice is clear.

Pre-Starting Check List

• Operator knows safe navigation, boating, and operating procedures.
•  An  approved  personal  flotation  device  of  suitable  size  for  each  person  aboard  and  readily 

accessible (it is the law).

• A ring type life buoy or buoyant cushion designed to be thrown to a person in the water.
• Know your boats maximum load capacity. Look at the boat capacity plate.
• Fuel supply OK.
• Ensure the boat drain plug is installed.
•  Arrange passengers and load in the boat so the weight is distributed evenly and everyone is 

seated in a proper seat.

• Tell someone where you are going and when you expect to return.
