drive shaft, impeller, pump housing, and
jet thrust nozzle. If you cannot remove
the debris, consult a Yamaha Boat Deal-
er.

from the cap or port surfaces. Apply a
light coat of Yamalube Waterproof Ma-

shut off the engines should the hatch be
accidentally opened during operation.
The engines will not restart unless the
