22. Reinstall the seats and secure them.
23. Reinstall the drain screws in the stern.
24. Finally run the watercraft IN WATER for at least

End of the Day Checklist
These watercraft are not meant to be left in the
water for extended periods.
Boats that are left in
the water are hauled out periodically, the bottoms
scraped and repainted with antifouling paint.
Also
electrolysis can cause pump failure through erosion
of metal parts.
First, Drain the Exhaust System:
•
Remove the watercraft from the water.
•
Start the engine and run it for several seconds to
purge the exhaust system of excess water. Rev
the engine repeatedly, until water stops coming
out of the exhaust at the stern.
CAUTION
Never operate the engine at maximum speed
out of the water. Severe engine damage may
occur.
Do not run the engine with the watercraft out
of the water for more than 15 seconds at a
time. overheating will cause engine and ex-
haust system damage.
•
After each use in salt water, flush the cooling
system with fresh water (see the Cooling System
Flushing
section
in
the
MAINTENANCE
AND
ADJUSTMENTS chapter). This will help prevent
build up of salt deposits and eventual cooling
system blockage.
