2.3 Mooring the Boat
Be sure to tilt the jet drive out of the water when the boat is pulled onto a beach or tied to a dock in shallow
water. Failure to do this may cause the water intake housing to fill with sand or debris and could prevent the
outboard from cranking over for starting.
WARNING
：
A rotating impeller could cause injury if contact is made with hands, clothing, or tools. To avoid injury,
keep hands and clothing away from the inlet or outlet of the jet drive, regardless of whether the boat is in
the water. Secure tools and loose items to avoid being struck by projectiles as a result of contact with the
rotating impeller, and to prevent damage to the impeller.
A large amount of debris being drawn into the water intake may result in a loss of power. Intake
suction holding debris against the grate will result in restricted water flow. Shutting the engine off may
allow the debris to fall off the intake grate allowing full power to be restored. If debris does not fall off the
intake grate, the engine must be shut off and debris physically removed from the grate.
