GENERAL
Refer to the following special procedures accord-
ing to the specific event. Procedures described
may not be applicable to every watercraft model.
PROCEDURES
TOWING THE WATERCRAFT IN
WATER
Special precautions should be taken when towing
a Sea-Doo watercraft in water.
The maximum recommended towing speed is
24 km/h (15 MPH).
This will prevent the exhaust system from fill-
ing w ith water, which may lead to water being
injected into and filling the engine. Without the
engine running, there isn't any exhaust pressure
to push the water out the exhaust outlet.
NOTICE
Failure to follow these instructions
may result in damage to the engine. If you
must tow a stranded watercraft in water, be
sure not to exceed the maximum towing speed
of 24 km/h (15 MPH).
SUBMERGED WATERCRAFT
NOTICE
Never try to crank or start engine.
Water trapped in the intake manifold would
flow towards the engine and possibly cause
severe engine damage.
1. Drain bilge.
2. If the watercraft was submerged in salt water,
rinse the bilge and all components thoroughly
with fresh water using a garden hose to stop
the salt corroding effect.
3. Check for water in the intake system. If water
is found in the intake system, refer to
WATER-
FLOODED ENGINE
in this subsection.
Lubricating the Engine
Refer to
WATER-FLOODED ENGINE
in this sub-
section.
Inspecting the Fuel
Check fuel tank for water contamination. If nec-
essary, siphon and refill w ith fresh fuel.
WATER-FLOODED ENGINE
If the engine is flooded with water, it must be ser-
viced within a few hours after the event. Other-
wise, the engine will have to be overhauled.
NOTICE
– Never try to crank or start the engine. Water
trapped in the intake manifold would enter
the combustion chamber through the intake
valves and may cause damage to the engine.
– An engine flooded with water must be prop-
erly drained, lubricant replaced (oil change),
operated (boil out procedure), then lubricant
replaced again, otherwise parts will be seri-
ously damaged.
Servicing the Supercharger
Remove the supercharger and flush its bearings
with fresh engine oil. Refer to appropriate subsec-
tion.
Afterwards, reinstall the supercharger and follow
the next procedure.
NOTICE
The supercharger must NOT be dis-
assembled.
Draining the Exhaust System
If water is suspected to be in the exhaust system,
remove the exhaust pipe and the muffler. Drain
them or siphon the water out of them. Refer to
EXHAUST SYSTEM
subsection.
Draining the Intake System
1. If water is present in the air intake silencer,
empty it. Refer t o
AIR INTAKE SYSTEM
sub-
section.
