POST-OPERATION CARE

WARNING
Allow engines to cool before per-
forming any maintenance.

General Care

Once boat is on trailer, unscrew the
drain plug, block the wheels and raise
the bow slightly with the trailer jack (if
so equipped) to allow water to drain.
Remove any remaining water that is
left in the engine compartment (bilge,
engines, 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 or-
ganisms.
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 treatment,
when used in salt water, will result in
damage to the boat and its compo-
nents. Never leave the boat stored in
direct sunlight.
Exhaust Cooling System
Flushing
General
Flushing the exhaust cooling systems
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.
72
Flushing should be performed when the
boat is not expected to be used further
the same day or when the boat is stored
for any extended time.
WARNING
Perform this operation in a well ven-
tilated area.
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.
WARNING
When operating the engines while
the boat is out of the water, the
heat exchangers become very hot.
Avoid any contact with heat ex-
changers as burns may occur.
Connect a garden hose to connector
located at the rear of boat on jet pump
support. Do not open water tap yet.
NOTE: An optional quick connect
adapter can be used (P/N 295 500 473).
No hose pincher is required to flush en-
gine.
