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.

cause severe injury or death. Before at-

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.

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 76 for infor-
mation on checking the engine oil level.)
