Exhaust System
Exhaust System Flushing
Flushing the exhaust system with
fresh water is essential to neutralize
corroding effects of salt or other chem-
ical products present in water. It will
help to remove sand, salt, shells or
other particles in water jackets and/or
hoses.
NOTICE
If watercraft is used in
salt water, exhaust system must be
flushed daily to avoid serious dam-
age to mechanical components.
Flushing should be performed when
the watercraft is not expected to be
used further the same day or when the
watercraft is stored for any extended
time.
