POST-OPERATION CARE
General Care
Should water be present in the bilge
after use of bilge pump, unscrew the
drain plugs and tilt the sport boat to the
rear in order to allow water to drain.
Remove any remaining water in the
engine compartment (bilge, engine,
etc.) with clean dry rags. This is partic-
ularly important in salt water use.
Remove the sport boat from the water
every day to prevent marine organ-
isms growth.
Additional Care for Foul
Water or Salt Water
When the sport boat is operated in foul
water and particularly in salt water, ad-
ditional care must be taken to protect
the sport boat and its components.
Rinse trailer and boat’s hull/bilge area
with fresh water.
CAUTION: Failure to perform proper
care such as: craft rinsing, cooling
system flushing and anticorrosion
treatment, when used in salt water,
will result in damage to the sport
boat and its components. Never
leave the craft stored in direct sun-
light.
Exhaust Cooling System
Flushing
General
Flushing the exhaust cooling system
with fresh water is essential to neutral-
ize corroding effects of salt or other
chemical products present in water. It
will help to remove sand, salt, shells or
other particles in water jackets and/or
hoses.
Flushing should be performed when the
sport boat is not expected to be used
further the same day or when the sport
boat is stored for any extended time.
Proceed as follows:
Clean jet pump by spraying water in its
inlet and outlet and then apply a coat-
ing of Bombardier Lube™ lubricant or
equivalent.
Connect a garden hose to connector
located at the rear of sport boat on jet
pump support. Do not open water tap
yet.
NOTE: An optional quick connect adapt-
er can be used (P/N 295 500 473). No
hose pincher is required to flush engine.
