Cooling water pilot outlets

When the engine is running, some of the
cooling water that is circulated in the engine
is discharged 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 103 for informa-
tion on the jet intake.)

TIP:
It will take about 60 seconds for the water

to reach the outlets after the engine is start-
ed.
Water discharge may not be constant

when 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.
If water has collected in the water separator,
drain it by loosening the drain screw.

2 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.
