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 via the
exhaust passage from the jet thrust nozzle.
A small quantity of water will remain in the
bilge and should be removed manually. To
remove any residual water, perform the fol-
lowing procedure.
To remove water from the bilge:
1. Remove the stern drain plugs.
2. Raise the bow of the watercraft until the
water drains.
3. After the water has drained, wipe the
bilge with dry rags to make sure that the
bilge is thoroughly dry.
4. Install the drain plugs.
CAUTION:
@
●
Make sure that the stern drain plugs
are tightened securely before launch-
ing the watercraft.
● Clean any foreign materials, such as
dirt or sand, from the drain plug
threads before installing the drain
plugs.
