Flushing the Cooling System
Flushing the cooling system is essential after each use in saltwater,
after the boat has run aground, or when the overheat warning horn
sounds. When using the flushing attachment, ensure that the water
is turned all the way on and flowing through the engine before
starting.
IMPORTANT: When using the flushing attachment do not run the
engine above idle.
!
CAUTION
Never start or run the jet drive without water circulating through
the cooling system to prevent damage to the unit.

attach a water hose.
IMPORTANT: Do not run the engine above idle when flushing.
3. Turn the water on all the way. Start the engine and flush the
