POST-OPERATION CARE
General Care
Remove the watercraft from the water
every day to prevent marine organisms
growth.
Should any water be present in the hull,
unscrew the drain plugs and tilt the wa-
tercraft to the rear in order to allow wa-
ter to flow out.
Wipe up any remaining fluid in the en-
gine compartment (bilge, engine, bat-
tery, etc.) with clean dry rags (this is par-
ticularly important in salt water use).
Additional Care for Foul
Water or Salt Water
When the watercraft is operated in foul
water and particularly in salt water, ad-
ditional care should be taken to protect
the watercraft and its components.
Rinse trailer and watercraft‘s bilge area
with fresh water.
CAUTION: Failure to perform proper
care such as: watercraft rinsing, ex-
haust cooling system flushing and
anticorrosion treatment, when wa-
tercraft is used in salt water, will re-
sult in damage to the watercraft and
its components. Never leave the wa-
tercraft stored in direct sunlight.
Exhaust Cooling System
Flushing
General
Flushing the exhaust cooling system
with fresh water is essential to neutral-
ize corroding effects of salt or other
chemical products present in water. It
will help to remove sand, salt, shells or
other particles in water jackets and/or
hoses.
Flushing should be performed when
the watercraft is not expected to be
used further the same day or when the
watercraft is stored for any extended
time.
Proceed as follows:
Clean jet pump by spraying water in its
inlet and outlet and then apply a coat-
ing of BOMBARDIER LUBE lubricant
or equivalent.
Connect a garden hose to connector
located at the rear of watercraft on jet
pump support.
NOTE: An optional quick connect adapt-
er can be used (P/N 295 500 473). No
hose pincher is required to flush engine.
