POST-OPERATION CARE
General Care
Once boat is on trailer, unscrew the
drain plugs, block the wheels and raise
the bow slightly with the trailer jack (if
so equipped) to allow water to drain.
Wipe up any remaining fluid in the en-
gine compartment (bilge, engine, etc.)
with clean dry rags. This is particularly
important in salt water use.
Remove the boat from the water every
day to prevent growth of marine organ-
isms.
Additional Care for Foul
Water or Salt Water
When the boat is operated in foul wa-
ter and particularly in salt water, addi-
tional care must be taken to protect
the boat and its components. Rinse
trailer and boat’s hull/bilge area with
fresh water.
CAUTION: Failure to perform proper
care such as: rinsing, cooling system
flushing and anticorrosion treat-
ment, when used in salt water, will
result in damage to the boat and its
components. Never leave the boat
stored in direct sunlight.
Cooling System Flushing
General
Flushing the cooling system with fresh
water is essential to neutralize corrod-
ing effects of salt or other chemical
products present in water. It will help
to remove sand, salt, shells or other
particles in water jackets (engine, ex-
haust manifold, tuned pipe) and/or
hoses.
Flushing should be performed when
the boat is not expected to be used fur-
ther the same day or when the boat is
stored for any extended time.
Flushing
1. Clean jet pump by spraying water in
its inlet and outlet and then apply a
coating of BOMBARDIER LUBE lu-
bricant or equivalent.
2. Open engine cover.
3. Connect a garden hose directly to
the flushing connector. Open the
water tap.
Refer to M
2
Jet Drive Operator‘s Guide
for complete engine flushing procedure.
WARNING
Allow engine to cool before per-
forming any maintenance.
WARNING
Perform this operation in a well
ventilated area.
