Inspection
Inspect parts for damage. Verify especially bel-
lows for cracks.
Assembly
Assembly is essentially the reverse of disassem-
bly procedures.
CARE
For flushing purposes, the cooling system is
equipped with either a fitting spigot or a hose
adapter depending upon the model.
For flushing operation, a coupler hose is available
(unnecessary for models with the hose adapter) to
connect to the fitting spigot. A garden hose is
used to flush the whole system by backwash. For
flushing procedure, refer to FLUSHING AND LU-
BRICATION.
For winterization of cooling system, refer to STOR-
AGE.
When servicing the hull, always rotate watercraft
clockwise (seen from the rear). Rotating water-
craft on the opposite side could allow residual wa-
ter in tuned pipe to enter the engine and cause
damage.
