Post-launch checks
Perform the post-launch checks in the pre-
operation checklist while the boat is in the
water and the engines are running.
Engine shut-off switch check
Check the engine shut-off switch for proper
operation.
(1) Start the engines. (See page 95 for infor-
mation on starting the engines.)
(2) Pull the engine shut-off cord (lanyard) to
remove the clip from the engine shut-off
switch to make sure that the engines
stop immediately.
(3) Make sure that the engines cannot be
started with the clip removed from the
engine shut-off switch.

Cooling water pilot outlet check
Check that water comes out from the pilot
outlets while the engines are running in the
water. If water is not circulating, something
may be clogging the intake grates. Refer to
"Jet pump clean-out procedure" on page
125.
Pre-operation checks
TIP:
It may take up to 20 seconds for water to
reach the pilot outlets when first launching
the boat. The amount and force of the exiting
water will vary with engine speed.
NOTICE
A continuous flow of water from the pilot
outlets shows that water is flowing
through the engine cooling water passag-
es. If water is not flowing out of the pilot
outlets during operation, do not continue
to run the engines. Overheating and seri-
ous damage could occur. (See "Engine
overheat warning system" on page 44 for
more information.)
Fuel level check
Check the amount of fuel remaining in the
fuel tank using the fuel level bar graph on the
multi-function display.
