Cooling water pilot outlets

When the engine is running, some of the cool-
ing water that is circulated in the engine is dis-
charged from the cooling water pilot outlets.
1 Cooling water pilot outlet (port [left] side)
There are cooling water pilot outlets on the
port (left) and starboard (right) sides of the
watercraft. To check for proper operation of
the cooling system, make sure that water is
being discharged from the port (left) pilot out-
let. If water is not being discharged from the
outlet, stop the engine and check the jet in-
take for clogging. (See page 95 for informa-
tion on the jet intake.)
TIP:
It will take about 60 seconds for the water to
G
reach the outlets after the engine is started.
Water discharge may not be constant when
G
the engine is running at idling speed. If this
occurs, apply a little throttle to make sure
that water discharges properly.

Water separator

The water separator prevents water from en-
tering the fuel tank by collecting any water that
has entered the fuel tank breather hose if the
watercraft was capsized.
Control function operation
If water has collected in the water separator,
drain it by loosening the drain screw.

1 Drain screw
To drain water from the water separator:
(1) Place a drain pan or dry cloth under the
water separator.
(2) Gradually loosen the drain screw to drain
the water. Catch the draining water in the
drain pan or soak it up with the dry cloth
so that it does not spill into the engine
compartment. If any water spills into the
watercraft, be sure to wipe it up with a dry
cloth.
(3) Securely tighten the drain screw until it
stops.
