Post-operation checks
These post-operation procedures are devel-
oped to help preserve the long-term appear-
ance and reliability of your boat. Perform
these procedures as soon as possible after
the boat is loaded back on the trailer after the
day’s use.
Some owners prefer to moor their boat sea-
sonally, rather than keeping it on the trailer
between uses.
Extended mooring is not
recommended by Yamaha, but can be
performed if proper precautions are taken
to help guard against prolonged environ-
mental exposure and marine growth.
Proper flushing of the cooling system is not
possible with the boat in the water. In addi-
tion, conditions such as stray electrical volt-
age in the water, marine organisms, and
saltwater corrosion can adversely affect the
life of many boat components.
NOTICE:
Leaving the boat in the water for extended
periods will accelerate the rate of normal
deterioration of the exposed drive compo-
nents.
If you do decide to moor your boat, be sure to
remove it from the water periodically to clean
the hull and jet pump area. The frequency of
maintenance required will depend upon
whether the water is salt water or fresh water
and other local water conditions. See your
dealer for additional preventative mainte-
nance recommendations on mooring and/or
saltwater use for your area.
(1) After putting the boat on the trailer, flush
the cooling system to prevent the cooling
system from clogging up with salt, sand,
or dirt. (See page 111 for the cooling sys-
tem flushing procedure.)
(2) Drain residual water from the exhaust
system by starting the engine, and then
alternately pushing the remote control le-
ver up to half throttle and back to idle for
10 to 15 seconds.
NOTICE:
Do not run
the engine over 4000 r/min on land. Al-
so, do not run the engine for more
than 15 seconds without supplying
water, otherwise, the engine could
overheat and/or seize.
(3) Stop the engine.
(4) Wash down the hull, helm, and jet drive
unit with fresh water.
(5) Open the rear platform hatch. (See page
63 for rear platform hatch opening and
closing procedures.)
(6) Remove the access port cap to let any
water drain that has pooled on it. (See
page 126 for access port cap removal
and installation procedures.) If the boat
will be stored on the trailer nearby, leave
the cap out until you prepare to launch
the boat again. If the boat will be trans-
ported on the trailer any distance, tem-
porarily reinstall the cap and close the
hatch until you get home. Open the hatch
again when you arrive and remove the
cap as before. Leave the cap loose until
you plan to transport the boat on the
trailer again.
NOTICE:
Leaving the ac-
cess port cap out when you are not
using or transporting the boat helps
keep it from becoming stuck in the ac-
cess port.
(7) Remove the hull drain plug. (See page
(8) Rinse the engine compartment with a
small amount of fresh water. Be careful
not to get water on the air filter area or
electrical components. Allow any water
in the bilge to drain out. After the water
has drained, wipe the engine compart-
ment and bilge with dry rags.
