Water separator
Check the water separator
1
for water.
Normally the water separator is empty. The
water separator retains any water entering
through the fuel tank breather hose if the
watercraft is capsized.
If water remains in the water separator,
drain it by removing the drain screw
2
.
Place a drain pan under the water separator
to catch the draining water or use a dry cloth
to soak up any water that could spill into the
watercraft. If any water spills into the water-
craft, be sure to wipe it up with a dry cloth.
Be sure to install the drain screw after drain-
ing the water separator.

Bilge
Check for moisture and fuel residue in the
bilge.
This watercraft is equipped with a conven-
tional jet vacuum bilge draining system and
an electric bilge draining system. The elec-
tric bilge draining system is operated when
the engine is running. When excess water
reaches the water inlet of the electric bilge
pump, the water is discharged from the elec-
tric bilge pilot outlet
1
at the stern.
A small quantity of water will remain in the
bilge and should be removed manually. To
remove any residual water, beach the water-
craft and perform the following procedure.
CAUTION:
@
If starting the engine after it has cap-
sized, do not operate the engine at full
open throttle when water is being dis-
charged from the electric bilge pilot out-
let at the stern. Excessive water in the
bilge can splash into the engine which
could cause damage.
