Pre-operation checks

Pre-operation check points

Pre-launch checks

Perform the pre-launch checks in the pre-op-
eration checklist while the boat is on land.

Steering system checks

Make sure the steering wheel is not loose.
There should not be any free play, either in-
and-out or in rotation. Turn the steering wheel
fully to the right and left to make sure opera-
tion is smooth and unrestricted throughout the
whole range.
Make sure the jet thrust nozzle changes direc-
tions as the steering wheel is turned. The jet
thrust nozzle should point to starboard (right)
when the wheel is turned to the right. The jet
thrust nozzle should point to port (left) when
the wheel is turned to the left. There should
not be free play between the steering wheel
and the jet thrust nozzle.
