Bilge
Excessive water in the engine compart-
ment bilge can splash into the carburetor
and engine. This could cause engine dam-
age. If there is any moisture in the bilge,
raise the bow about 30 cm (12 in.) and
remove the hull drain plugs. After the
water has drained, wipe the bilge with dry
rags. Reinstall the drain plugs.
GU2070
Tighten two hull drain plugs securely
before launching the Water Vehicle.
Clean any foreign material, such as dirt or
sand, from the threads before installing
the drain plugs.
Always properly dispose of gasoline
(petrol) soaked rags. They can sponta-
neously ignite.
