Engine Exhaust System

Periodically inspect the engine exhaust system. Be
sure to check for:
Deteriorated hoses.
Burned hoses.
Loose clamps.
Evidence of water leaks.
Corrosion or blockage in the exhaust mani-
fold and riser(s).
WARNING! Replace damaged or defective
components, and securely tighten all clamps.
Any exhaust leak must be repaired before you
operate your boat. Exhaust leaks release
fumes that can create hazardous conditions
for operator and passengers.

Drive Unit Bellows

WARNING! If you work on the drive bellows,
secure the drive unit in a raised position in
such a way that it cannot fall. A falling drive
may cause serious injury.
Check the drive unit bellows for fractures and
deterioration.
Check tightness of all hose clamps.
Check the drive unit bellows and clamps eve-
ry 50 operating hours or every season. You
may order the bellows separately, or as part
of an accessory kit. The accessory kit also in-
cludes O-rings, oils, washers, seals, and an-
odes.
