MAINTENANCE
Inboard (MIE) Models
When flushing, be certain the area around propeller is clear, and no one is standing
nearby. To avoid possible injury, remove propeller.
If boat is in the water, seacock (water inlet valve), if equipped, must be closed until
engine is to be re-started, to prevent water from flowing into the boat and/or back
into the cooling system. If boat is not fitted with a seacock, water inlet hose must
be disconnected and plugged (to prevent water from flowing into the boat and/or
back into the cooling system). As a precautionary measure, attach a tag to the
ignition switch or steering wheel of the boat with the warning: Open seacock or
reconnect water inlet hose before starting engine.
1. If the boat is in the water, close the seacock, if equipped, or plug the seawater inlet hose
to prevent seawater from entering the boat.
2. Disconnect the seawater inlet hose from the seawater pump connector fitting.
