Jet intake checks

Carefully check the jet intake under the boat
for weeds, debris, or anything else that might
restrict the intake of water. If the intake is
clogged, cavitation could occur, reducing jet
thrust, and possibly damaging jet pump
parts.

In some cases, the engine may overheat be-
cause of a lack of cooling water, and damage
could result. If the jet intake is clogged, clean
it. (See page 149 for information on the jet in-
take.) WARNING! Rotating parts could
cause severe injury or death. Before at-
tempting to remove weeds or debris from
the jet intake or impeller areas; shut off the

Fuel system checks

Check the fuel filler hoses and joints in the en-
gine compartment for damage, looseness,
and signs of leaking. At least annually, or if a
problem is suspected, check the fuel tank
and fuel filler hoses and clamps. Have a
Yamaha Boat Dealer check the fuel tank and
fuel filler hoses and clamps. WARNING! If
there are signs of leaking fuel, do not op-
erate the boat until the source of the fuel
leak is found and corrected. Gasoline and
its vapors are highly flammable and explo-
sive.

Engine oil level check

Make sure that the engine oil level is between
the minimum level mark and maximum level
mark on the dipstick. (See page 101 for infor-
mation on checking the engine oil level.)
