HYDRO SURGE GRATE
The hydro surge grate is spring‑loaded. If the intake gets plugged, the pump
suction will pull open the grate, and the water will push the blockage past the
grate and clear the intake.
If operating the boat at slow speeds in weedy areas, the water intake grate can
become plugged with weeds. A plugged grate causes the pump to cavitate
during acceleration (over‑revving without thrusting the boat).
If the grate becomes plugged:
1. Slowly advance the throttle to get the boat up on plane, making sure not
to cavitate the pump.
2. Continue to advance the throttle until the boat is running at top speed.
The force of the water should clear the pump of any remaining weeds.
Fuel System

WARNING
Fuel is flammable and explosive. Ensure that the key switch is off and the
lanyard is positioned so that the engine cannot start. Do not smoke or allow
sources of spark or open flame in the area while servicing. Keep the work
area well ventilated and avoid prolonged exposure to vapors. Always check
for leaks before attempting to start the engine, and wipe up any spilled fuel
immediately.
Before servicing any part of the fuel system, stop the engine and disconnect
the battery. Drain the fuel system completely. Use an approved container to
collect and store fuel. Wipe up any spillage immediately. Material used to
contain spillage must be disposed of in an approved receptacle. Any fuel
system service must be performed in a well‑ventilated area. Inspect any
completed service work for signs of fuel leakage.
