Bilge Siphon Feature
The Sport Jet incorporates an automatic bilge siphoning feature. The bilge siphon is working
whenever the engine is running above idle speeds. Maximum performance of the bilge si-
phon is realized above 3,000 rpm. A hose is attached to the jet pump nozzle. The hose is
routed to the engine compartment and placed in the bilge. Water exiting the nozzle creates
a suction or vacuum in the hose creating the bilge siphon, drawing water out of the boat.
Installing Bilge Siphon
