PREVENT MAJOR DAMAGE

j
Righting Capsized Watercraft
Rolling the capsized watercraft counterclockwise
(to its STARBOARD side) can cause water in the
exhaust system to run into the engine, with pos-
sible engine damage. Always turn the capsized
boat clockwise so that the PORT side always
faces downward.
For details on righting, refer to Righting the Cap-
sized Watercraft section in the OPERATING IN-
STRUCTIONS chapter.
Shallow Water
When starting the engine or riding, the watercraft
must be in water at least 0.8 m (2.5 ft) deep. Sand
or debris from the bottom may be drawn into the
jet pump and damage the pump and impeller, and
possibly clog cooling lines.
If operating in shallow or debris-laden water, ob-
jects or sand from the bottom can get sucked in
damaging the impeller and possibly clogging cool-
ing hoses which can cause severe engine damage
from overheating.
Avoid beaching the watercraft. Stones and sand
can scratch the hull and be drawn into the jet
pump, causing damage to the impeller.
