Pre-operation checks
113
Bilge water check
Make sure that no bilge water has collected in
the engine compartment. If bilge water has
collected in the engine compartment, drain it.
(See page 103 for information on draining the
bilge water.)
Drain plug check
Loosen the drain plugs and remove them,
and then make sure that the plugs and the O-
rings on the hull drain plugs are not damaged
and that there is no foreign material on the
threads or the O-rings on the hull drain plugs.
NOTICE:
Before installing the drain plugs,
clean the drain plug threads and the
O-rings on the hull drain plugs to remove
any foreign materials, such as dirt or sand.
Otherwise, the drain plugs could be dam-
aged, allowing water to enter the engine
compartment or the fuel tank compart-
ment. Make sure that the drain plugs are
tightened securely before launching the
boat. Otherwise, water may flood the boat
and cause it to submerge.
Securely install the drain plugs by tightening
them until they stop.

WARNING
Gasoline vapors can explode. Before
starting the engine, check the engine
compartment for gasoline, gasoline va-

ate the blower if you can smell gasoline
vapors in the engine compartment or if
there are any loose electrical connections.
Contact a Yamaha Boat Dealer if there is a
problem you cannot locate or correct.
Make sure that the blower operates properly
