POST-OPERATION CARE

General Care

Should any water be present in the
hull, unscrew the drain plugs and tilt
the watercraft to the rear in order to
allow water to flow out.
Wipe up any remaining liquid in the en-
gine compartment (bilge, engine, bat-
tery, etc.) with clean dry rags (this is par-
ticularly important in salt water use).
Remove the watercraft from the wa-
ter every day to prevent marine organ-
isms growth.
Additional Care for Foul
Water or Salt Water
When the watercraft is operated in
foul water and particularly in salt wa-
ter, additional care must be taken to
protect the watercraft and its compo-
nents. Rinse bilge area with fresh wa-
ter.

CAUTION
Failure to perform proper care
such as: watercraft rinsing, cool-
ing system flushing and anticor-
rosion treatment, when water-
craft is used in salt water, will re-
sult in damage to the watercraft
and its components. Never leave
the watercraft stored in direct sun-
light.
Cooling System Flushing
and Engine Internal
Lubrication
Flushing the cooling system with
fresh water is essential to neutralize
corroding effects of salt or other chemi-
cal products present in water. It will
help to clean up sand, salt, shells or
other particles in water jackets (en-
gine, exhaust manifold, tuned pipe)
and/or hoses.
52
Engine lubrication and flushing should
be performed when the watercraft is
not expected to be used further the
same day or when the watercraft is
stored for any extended time.
Proceed as follows:
Perform this operation in a well
ventilated area.
Clean jet pump by spraying water in its
inlet and outlet and then BOMBAR-
DIER LUBE lubricant.

Remove dust cap from fitting spigot
and attach coupler hose (P/N 295 500

erly locked to fitting spigot.
Install a hose pincher on water outlet
hose.

rectly exiting cooling system.
