Water separator
Check the water separator

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
.
Install the drain screw again after draining
the water separator.

Bilge
Check for moisture and fuel residue in the
bilge.
Excessive water in the bilge can splash
into the carburetor and engine which could
cause engine damage.
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.
