4) Turn off the water supply, then drain
residual water from the exhaust
system by alternately pushing the
throttle lever up to half throttle and
back for 10 to 15 seconds. Shut off
engine.
Never have the water on when the
engine is not running. The water
could flow back through the muffler
into the crankcase causing severe
engine damage. Do not run the engine
for more than 15 seconds after the
water supply has been turned off to
avoid engine overheating.
5) After stopping the engine, remove
the garden hose adapter.
6) Replace the cap securely.
7) Repeat the flushing procedure for
the other engine.

LUBRICATION

Grease the areas of the boat specified
in "Grease Points" in the Adjustment
and Maintenance section.
If your boat will be in prolonged, off-
season storage, it is recommended you
contact your Yamaha dealer for Winter-
ization Service.

BATTERY SWITCH

The battery switch is located in the
battery compartment in the port-side
compartment under the rear seats. Turn
the battery switch to off when the boat
will not be used again right away. The
switch in the off position will prevent the
battery from being drained if another
electrical switch is accidentally left in
the on position. NOTICE: Do not turn
off the battery switch if the boat is
moored in the water as it will prevent
the bilge pump and stern light from
functioning.
