watercraft is tilting up, push down on the
gunwale so that the port (left) side is down

Do not turn the watercraft over counter-
clockwise, otherwise water can leak into
the carburetor and engine, which can
result in severe damage.

3. Start the engine and operate the water-
craft to discharge any water remaining in
the engine compartment. (If the engine

To efficiently discharge water from the
engine compartment, operate the watercraft
