There are some engine maintenance functions that are best performed by your
dealer. Maintenance items that can be done by you or your dealer are listed
below. We suggest that you familiarize yourself with these even if you have
your dealer service your boat.
The old adage “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” applies to
your boat. Here are some tips that will help keep your boat in good running
order and in good condition.
1. Read the instructions regarding your engine very carefully.
2. Check for fuel line leaks every time you use the boat.
3. NEVER start your engine if gasoline odor is present. Gasoline fumes are
highly explosive. Before starting your engine, open the engine box, inspect the
engine compartment for gasoline fumes and operate the blower for at least four
minutes. Your boat has two struts that hold the engine box up. Run your blower
when operating at slow speeds. If fuel vapors are present, do not start the
engine. Check all hoses and fittings to determine the source of the vapor. Make
the necessary adjustments or take the boat to your local dealer to eliminate the
fuel vapor.
4. When servicing the ignition switch or any wiring, always disconnect the
battery cables from the battery.
5. Check for water circulation when the engine is running. Exhaust should
contain steady flow of water. In closed cooling systems, make sure the coolant
in the cooling system is at the proper level.
BILGE PUMPS
Check your bilge pumps often to make sure they are operating efficiently.
There are two bilge pumps; one is at the rear of the boat near the rudder and
the other is under the floor by the ski pylon. To keep the pumps from getting
clogged, remove any debris that you find in the bilge. Wash the bilge with a
good biodegradable household detergent or a bilge cleaner available at a
marine supply store. Rinse with water with your bilge pumps running. If either
pump seems to lag, remove the top of the pump from the base and check the
impeller to make sure there is no debris stuck inside. See your dealer if there
is still a problem with either pump.
