FLUSHING
Flushing the cooling system with fresh water is
essential to neutralize corroding effects of salt or
other chemical products present in water. It will
help to clear sand, salt, shells or other particles in
water jackets (engine, exhaust manifold, tuned
pipe) and / or hoses.
Flushing should be performed when the boat is
not expected to be used further the same day or
when the boat is stored for any extended time.
CAUTION : Failure to flush cooling sys-
tem, when necessary, will severely dam-
age engine and / or exhaust system. Never
flush a hot engine. Make sure engine operates
during entire procedure.
PROCEDURE
WARNING : Perform this operation in a
well ventilated area. Do not touch any
electrical parts or jet pump area when engine
is running.
1. Clean jet pump by spraying water in its inlet and
outlet and then spray a soapy solution.
WARNING :
Always remove safety lanyard
cap from DESS post to prevent accidental
engine starting before cleaning the jet pump area.
Engine must not be running for this operation.
2. Open rear storage compartment and remove
storage tray.
3. Connect a garden hose directly to the flushing
connector. To prevent water leak, ensure the
rubber washer is in the boat’s connector.
