Cooling water pilot outlets

This watercraft is equipped with cooling water
pilot outlets on the port (left) and starboard
(right) sides of the watercraft.
When the engine is running, cooling water is
circulated in the engine, and then it is dis-
charged from the pilot outlets.

Features and functions
To check for proper operation of the cooling
system, check that water is being discharged
from the port (left) pilot outlets. If water is not
being discharged from these outlets, cooling
water may not be circulating in the engine.
When this occurs, stop the engine and check
for the cause. (See pages 41 and 88 for more
information.)
TIP:
If the cooling water passages are dry, it will
G
take about 60 seconds for the water to
reach the outlets after the engine is started.
Water discharge may not be constant at
G
idle, therefore, open the throttle a little to
check that water discharges properly.
