Post-operation care
To keep your watercraft in top shape, always
take it out of the water after using it and per-
form the following procedures. Leaving the
watercraft in the water for extended periods
will accelerate the rate of normal deterioration
of the jet unit components and hull finish. Ma-
rine organisms and corrosion are some of the
conditions that can adversely affect the life of
many watercraft components.
(1) Remove the watercraft from the water.
(2) Wash down the hull, handlebars, and jet
unit with fresh water.
(3) Remove the seats and check the engine
compartment for water. To drain excess
water, remove the stern drain plugs, and
then raise the bow of the watercraft
enough to allow the water in the bilge to
drain out.
TIP:
This watercraft is equipped with a jet vacuum
bilge draining system and an electric bilge
draining system that remove water from the
engine compartment while you are underway.
However, some residual water will remain,
therefore remove the stern drain plugs to
drain the water. (See page 52 for bilge drain-
ing procedures.)
(4) Place the watercraft in a horizontal posi-
tion.
(5) Flush the cooling system to prevent it
from clogging with salt, sand, or dirt. (See
page 72 for flushing procedures.)
(6) Rinse the engine and engine compart-
ment with a small amount of water.
NOTICE: Do not use high-pressure
water when rinsing the engine or en-
gine compartment as severe engine
damage could result.

(7) Wipe the engine and engine compart-
ment dry with a clean cloth (repeat step 3,
if necessary).
(8) Wipe the hull, handlebars, and jet unit dry
with a clean cloth.
(9) Spray a rust inhibitor, such as Yamaha
Silicone Protectant and Lubricant, on me-
tallic parts to minimize corrosion.
(10)Allow the engine compartment to air dry
completely before installing the seats.
