Before starting checklist:
1. Engine oil level - boat must be level.
2. Transmission oil level - boat must be level.
3. Shifting linkage and detent in forward, neutral and reverse.
4. Leaks (water, fuel and oil).
5. Coolant level (closed cooling system).
6. Operation of the throttle and transmission shift control.
7. Battery condition.
8. Visually inspect for any loose mounting fasteners.
9. Verify the emergency stop switch located by the throttle is fully
functional and the lanyard is not frayed or damaged. Clip the
safety lanyard securely to your body. Keep it attached at all times
while you are driving.
10. Check that engine cooling water (raw water) valve is open and
raw water strainer is clean.
• Once the boat is in the water, visually check for water leaking
at the stuffing box. There should be no leakage from the
optional “dripless stuffing box” while a conventional stuffing
box must drip a moderate amount of water to properly
lubricate the drive shaft. If the “dripless stuffing box” is
leaking or water is coming in rapidly with the conventional
stuffing box, pull the boat out of the water and have your
Correct Craft Dealer service the stuffing box.
