Maintenance Between Races; Equipment And Spare Parts To Bring To The Race; Pit Area Presentation - Sea-doo Racino Owner's Handbook Manual

MAINTENANCE BETWEEN
RACES
The following items should be checked between
races:
1. Remove the spark plugs and check their condi-
tion, change if necessary.
2. Check the exhaust system for leaks and tight-
ness.
3. Check throttle operation, make sure full throttle
is being attained.
4. Visually inspect all inner hull components for
secure mounting and proper operation.
5. Adjust fuel and oil levels as needed.
6. Visually inspect the hull for external damage or
punctures, repair as necessary.
NOTE: Irreparable hull damage, which occurs dur-
ing a race, is the only reason a racer is allowed to
run a different boat in a race than that which they
have already qualified for. The Technical Inspector
must make the determination.
7. Check the intake grate for damage and secure
mounting.
8. Inspect the jet pump for rocks or debris that
may have been lodged inside.
9. Check the operation of the steering compo-
nents and adjust or tighten as necessary.
EQUIPMENT AND SPARE PARTS
TO BRING TO THE RACE
Racers must be prepared for any situations that
may arise on race day. However, most racers do
not have the resources required to attain, or to
transport all the equipment necessary to cover all
possible situations. You will have to determine
what your capabilities are for the level of racing
you are at (Pro, Expert, Novice) and just how im-
portant winning a race is to you.
Serious racers normally have 2 boats of equal ca-
pabilities. If a problem is encountered on one
boat, before it is qualified for an event, the backup
boat is used. If the boat has already been qualified
for a race, the parts are taken from the backup
boat, then used to repair the qualified boat. These
racers normally bring extra parts as well.

PIT AREA PRESENTATION

Your pit area is of major importance in many ways.
Race teams that are well financed actually pay the
promoters to place large tents, with sponsor
names on them, at the most advantageous loca-
tions on the beach. This allows them greater me-
dia exposure by film crews, and easy access to
the water for their racers.
For these same reasons, and more, your pit loca-
tion is just as important.
Your choice for pit location should be based on the
following factors. Weigh these factors in your
mind and make the best possible choice given the
circumstances.
