1. Tuned pipe water supply hose
Insert a funnel into the hose.
smr2005-044-008
Raise the hose as high as possible.
CAUTION: It is important to keep the hose as
high as possible so the antifreeze can reach the
end of the expansion pipe.
Pour coolant in the hose until the colored solution
appears by the calibrated elbow.
Reconnect the hose on the calibrated elbow then
the tuned pipe water hose to the T-fitting.
NOTE: For the above engine and exhaust sys-
tem procedures, although most of the antifreeze
drained out, it has mixed with any water in the wa-
ter jackets.
At preseason preparation, flush out the remaining
antifreeze from cooling system prior to using the
watercraft.

HULL/BODY
Watercraft Cleaning
Clean the bilge with hot water and mild detergent
or with bilge cleaner. Rinse thoroughly. Lift front
end of watercraft to completely drain bilge. If any
repairs are needed to body or to the hull, touch
up paint and Gelcote
®
repair kit are available. Re-
place damaged labels/decals.
Wash the body with soap and water solution (only
use mild detergent). Rinse thoroughly with fresh
water. Remove marine organisms from the hull.
Apply a nonabrasive wax.
CAUTION: Never clean fiberglass and plastic
parts with strong detergent, degreasing agent,
paint thinner, acetone, etc.
The seat should be partially left opened during
storage (the engine cover for the 3D Series). This
will avoid engine compartment condensation and
possible corrosion.
If the watercraft is to be stored outside, cover it
with an opaque tarpaulin to prevent sun rays and
grime from affecting the plastic components, wa-
tercraft finish as well as preventing dust accumu-
lation.
CAUTION: The watercraft must never be left in
water for storage. Never leave the watercraft
stored in direct sunlight.
Anticorrosion Treatment
Spray Bombardier Lube (P/N 293 600 016) over all
metallic components in engine compartment.
