Flushing Cooling System
Flushing the cooling system is essential after each use in salt water, after the boat has run
aground, or when the overheat warning horn sounds (possible debris in jet powerhead).
1. Locate the flush adapter in the boat. Some boats may have the adaptor mounted in the
hull or mounted in the engine compartment. Remove flush adaptor plug and attach wa-
ter hose.
