remove two hull drain plugs. Allow any
water in the bilge to drain out.
Rinse the engine compartment with a
small amount of fresh water. Be careful
not to get water on the carburetor or
electrical components. After the water
has drained, wipe the bilge with dry
rags.
Reinstall two drain plugs securely.
NOTE:
This water vehicle is equipped with an auto-
matic bilge-draining device that removes
water from the engine compartment while
you are underway.
However, some residual water remains that
must be drained by removing two drain
plugs.
